Wonderful specimens. I always enjoy viewing your posts.

I'll finish off this thread now with some finds from the Swiss Jurassic. Found them in loose blocks, but I'm pretty sure they're all either Graphoceras or Ludwigella from the concavum Zone, upper Aalenian.

I love the Fossil Forum.. It reminds me what I have been finding over the last decade, and the tremendous finds and wonderful hunting trips others were enjoying .  These are definitely impressive. 

I was contracting in 2012, squeezing out 1 or 2 trips a week, After full retirement in 2013, I was hunting 4-5 days a week!!! Fond memories but no longer within my physical capabilities.
