sharklover Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hello Yesterday I go with some friend's to a cretaceous quarry about 15 mile from my home. In the morning it was bad wether, raining and wind. Lucky we found a good spot where the Romondbosch layer was good excessible. Whe found some nice teeth there. You must understand that when you find ten good teeth on a day in this quarry,you have a good day. The teeth are mostly smal ,from about 2 mm till 3 cm. When you find a Synechodus lerichei and a mosasaur hofmanni tooth you have a very very great day. Now some pictures to get an idea. Hope you enjoy them. 1 overview of the quarry 2 overview of the quarry 3 closup from a find of a hemipneustes striatoradiatus 4 some nice Palaeohypotoduss bronni teeth 5 a Palaeohypotoduss bronni in matrix 6 another Palaeohypotoduss bronni in matrix 7 another Palaeohypotoduss bronni in matrix 8 a nice Ganopristis leptodon extinct sawfish 9 more fish teeth 10 a rare Synechodus lerichei tooth 11,12,13,14,15,16 the find of the year a tooth of a Mosasaurus hofmanni size 5,5 cm Cor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
