Beschrieben wird die "Wiederentdeckung" eines Großammoniten Parapuzosia leptophylla aus dem Schacht Lohberg 3 im Ruhrgebiet in den GeoPark Ruhrgebiet News

Beschrieben wird die Geschichte der Unterschutzstellung des Kassenberges in Mülheim-Broich (Ruhrgebiet)

We describe a new genus and species of extinct ground shark, †Diprosopovenator hilperti, gen. et sp. nov. (Elasmobranchii, Carcharhiniformes), based on a single incomplete skeleton with dentition recovered from basinal marine late Cenomanian (Metoicoceras geslinianum ammonite zone) organic-rich deposits of northern Germany. The new carcharhiniform...

A total of 462 coprolites from three localities exposing Upper Cretaceous deposits in the Münster Basin, northwestern Germany, have been subjected to an array of analytical techniques, with the aim of elucidating ancient trophic structures and predator-prey interactions. The phosphatic composition, frequent bone inclusions, size and morphology coll...

In the "Geological Garden" outcrop in Bochum (Münsterland Basin, Germany), coal-bearing siliciclastic rocks of Late Carboniferous age are unconformably covered by a 0-5 m thick succession of marine deposits of the Cenomanian. The subdivision of the Cenomanian is based on lithostratigraphic criteria as well as ammonites and foraminifera. The present...

Short note on Hippopotamus-teeth from the Lower Rhine Embayment

Choristodera is a clade of extinct aquatic reptiles whose fossils have been found in freshwater and marginal marine deposits from Europe, Asia and North America. The European record is the most extensive, spanning at least the Middle Jurassic to early Miocene, and incorporates the stratigraphically oldest and youngest members of the group. Despite...

Isolated remains of mosasaurids and plesiosaurians are recorded from the lower Campanian Bottrop and Vaals formations of North Rhine-Westphalia, western Germany. A tooth crown from Bottrop- Fuhlenbrock, referred to an elasmosaurid plesiosaurian, represents the first record of this group from late-Upper Cretaceous strata of the area. Another presume...

The geological collection of the Ruhr Museum in Essen/Germany contains approximately 400,000 objects with the main focus being on palaeontology. Fossil plants from the Pennsylvanian wetlands and the peat swamps of the Ruhr Basin; marine invertebrates from the Münster Cretaceous Basin, and Pleistocene mammals represent the local geology, fossil plan...

Postcraniale Reste von protostegiden Schildkröten aus dem unteren Untercenomanium von Mülheim an der Ruhr (Westdeutschland) werden vorgestellt. Das Material umfasst fragmentarische Reste des Carapax und Appendikularskeletts eines Taxons mit einer mittleren Carapax-Länge von etwa 20-30 cm. Die Schildkrötenreste ergänzen den Nachweis dieser Gruppe im...

An outcrop on a small hill - the Weiner Esch - in the northwestern part of the Münsterland Cretaceous Basin is famous for its rich fauna, mainly shark-teeth. The geological background of this outcrop within the santonian Burgsteinfurt Formation is described.

A diverse vertebrate fauna, dominated by sharkteeth, is recorded from conglomerates within the limestonesof the Upper Cretaceous (Santonian) BurgsteinfurtFormation of northwestern Germany. The conglomeratebeds comprise carbonatic, glauconitic and phosphatenodules, as well as Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous extraclasts.The Burgsteinfurt Formation...

The Bottrop Formation is defined lithostratigraphically in relation to the underlying Upper Cretaceous Haltern Formation and the overlying Tertiary Walsum Beds. lt comprises glauconitic sandy marlstones and clay marlstones. At the base there are medium- to fine-grained sandy beds containing quartz and phosphorite pebble-beds, which reduce generally...

Heavily calcified claws and other remains of the burrowing shrimp Protocallianassa faujasi are common in Campanian and Maastrichtian strata in the Netherlands, NE Belgium and Germany. In the present paper material of early Campanian age, collected at Dülmen (Germany), is compared to specimens from the Maastrichtian type area in the SE Netherlands a...
