Goede ruil gedaan

[Erik-B]

Een aantal jaren geleden, heb ik 2 dagen kunnen zoeken in de groeve Holzbachacker bij Buttenheim.Mooie vondsten gedaan.Maar een hele Amaltheus Margaritus zat er niet in.Heb wel een paar brokstukken gevonden.Heb via Steinkern.de, contact gelegd met iemand die daar ook zoekt en deze ruil gedaan.Een Amaltheus Margaritus van +- 20 cm doorsnee.De Ammoniet kan nog verder uitgeprepareerd worden.Ik ben er mee in mijn nopjes

[Gerrit-Jan]

Dat kan ik me voorstellen. Mooi exemplaar!
Ik weet dat op steinkern ook een topic staat met een foto rapportage van de preparatie van een Amaltheus, vanuit 1000 kleine stukken. Monnikenwerk, maar met een prachtig resultaat,

Groet

Dat klopt.Het schijnt dat er zelfs exemplaren van 80cm doorsnee zijn gevonden.Maar ze schijnen nog redelijk zeldzaam te zijn ,deze soort

Hi!

That´s a really good example you got there, Erik.
There is one pyrit-bed near the lowest level of the quarry where those examples of Amaltheus are not so extremely rare ... but normally it´s hard work to find one.
Personally I found three examples of greater Amaltheus (across 20 cm) the last three years ... approximately I visited the quarry ten times in this period.

The greatest kind of Amaltheus I´ve ever seen from Buttenheim has a diameter of about 60 cm. It´s in the collection of Johann Schobert (Hirschaid near Buttenheim). I post a photography of this example. Not very well preserved, but of an impressing greatness.

Furthermore I attached a photography of the quarry in may 2009 and one of my three greater finds of Amaltheus. Unfortunately it was not fully substantial preserved, but you can´t alway get what you want...
Here you can take a look at the preparation of the Amaltheus margaritatus:

Very great Buttenheim-Amaltheus preparation studies of Harald Bergmann can be seen here:

Hallo Sönke, Wilkommen auf Fossiel.net
Your englisch is very well.So i think i can better write englisch.Because the most Dutch people are better in englisch,then german.I,ve visit Butenheim twice a lot of years ago.And i couldn,t find a big exemplar of Amaltheus Margaritus.A pity for us that Buttenheim is so far away.I wish i could go there back once.Nice photo,s btw

"Bedankt" for your adress of welcome!

@Erik and Everhadus: I think it isn´t really consoling .. but I´ve also 400 kilometres to ride before I can start searching at Buttenheim. So I am only one or two times the year there. Near Bielefeld it is more complicated to find fossils ... but if you try hard there are once in a while also good findings.
And if I look at your finds from Mill, Winterswijk etc. ... I see each region has it´s own specialities and at nearly each place there are various possibilites.

I post some more pictures of Buttenheim fossils within my collection:
- Pleurotomaria amalthei and Pleuroceras sp.
- Pleuroceras transiens, about 5 cm.
- Pseudokatosira undulata on matrix, 55 mm

Best regards

Hello Sönke, did you know the second time i visit Buttenheim i found a Pseudokatosira.I still regret i didn,t pack it in with newspapers.And put it in my bag.So my brother was digging.And by mistake,he was digging the shell away.Now i learned,if you find something realy inportant.Pack it in and hide it away
