Ludwigia Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Yesterday I posted a fossil which I found during a walk over the fields in the Wutach area. Earlier on in the day I had spent some time digging at one of the sites in the Callovian. Here are the best ones I found. First a Choffatia sp. (5cm.) and then a Macrocephalites jacquoti (6cm.) 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These macros are just fascinating, and even though I've got quite a few of them now, I just have to keep them in the collection when they're in such good condition. One of these days I'll probably let it go, but it's so nice to stare at for the time being. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Ludwigia Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Well, it doesn't make a pair all together now since 2+2=4, but here's another pair from the same collecting day. Another Macrocephalites sp. and a less common species, Cadoceras quendtedti. They look quite similar, don't they? But if you look closely, you'll see that the diameter of the inner whorls on the Cadoceras is quite a bit wider than the Macrocephalites. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.
