| Summary: | The sixth part of the collecting from tip heaps in the Hunsrück Slate concerns one of the most known slate quarries in Bundenbach: the Herrenberg quarry. The mine is open for visitors and is situated in the worth seeing "Valley of the milleniums". The author collected in the lower part of the tip heap some fossils, which most certainly belong to the Hans clayey slate member (Herrenberg member). These are two associated spinepairs of an acanthodian fish, the shell Praecardium sp. with few robust ripps, and several ophiuroids, crinoids and life traces. Also, the starfish Palasteriscus devonicus and the ammonite Anetoceras (Anetoceras) hunsrueckianum could be traced in old private collections. |
| Reaction 1: | De Baets et al. (2013): "Emsian Ammonoidea and the age of the Hunsrück Slate (Rhenish Mountains, Western Germany)" in Palaeontographica, Abt. A, Volume 299, Issues 1-6: 1-113, include in their investigations the already published (Südkamp 2007: 91) Anetoceras hunsrueckianum and Anetoceras aff. hunsrueckianum from the collection Beicht, Bundenbach. The first specimen has been newly assigned to Ivoites hunsrueckianus, the last to Ivoites opitzi nov.sp. |
