Ludwigia Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) Congratulations Fossilman on your very nice looking ammonites. I would ID them as Dactylioceras athleticum from the lower Toarcian. May I ask you in which exact location you found them? Are they from an erratic block which may have been somehow transported there or did they come directly from the bedrock? They remind me very much of the ones to be found at the classic sites around Schlaifhausen. Best wishes, Roger Edited March 4, 2011 by Ludwigia Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Diplotomodon Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Yep, amazing fossil! Haven't seen many that are in that good a condition What a wonderful menagerie! Who would believe that such as register lay buried in the strata? To open the leaves, to unroll the papyrus, has been an intensely interesting though difficult work, having all the excitement and marvelous development of a romance. And yet the volume is only partly read. Many a new page I fancy will yet be opened. -- Edward Hitchcock, 1858 Formerly known on the forum as Crimsonraptor @Diplotomodon on Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefootgirl Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Very nice!
