Langenboom

Yesterday I was checking the posts of a great follower @awgbibb and he was commenting on a great post of @gavvet. I love the post and resteemed it. For me it was several years ago that I found a nice fossil at the beach. The post triggered me again to look onto the internet. I was surprised that only a few kilometer from my home there is a good archaeology site.I hope you like my contribution so I can post more of this fascinating world.

The Brabant village "Langenboom" has a mud sprayer! Fossil fanatics are coming from far and wide, to take voluntarily the most dirty shower in the Netherlands. Their hands clamp a shopping cart or stroller, converted by the owner into a sieve.

Real archaeology fanatics get scratched against the splashing water and creep as close as possible under the pipe. They go for the best place, because with the mud there are well-received fossils. You obviously hope that the top of the day ends up your sieve.
Ice cold water and tingling sand in your eyes? What if you have a chance of shark teeth, whale vertebrates, even complete skulls from a long past. Black gold from the time North Brabant was a sea in which remarkable animals lived.

Shark teeth, shells and other fossils

Langenboom is a village in the east of northern Brabant, about twenty kilometers south of Nijmegen. Here lies the recreation pool De Kuilen. From the puddle, a sand dredger wins sand for road construction. The sand is aspirated and sprayed through a pipe system in a sealed basin. Where the mud flows out of the pipe there are men and a single woman every day in the dredger. Using a sieve, they search for shark teeth, whale vertebrates, skulls of dolphins and other fossils that have come up with the sand. Locality The Pits is special because it produces fossils from the Mioce and Plioceen; In few other places in our country, remains of animals from these periods come to the surface.

finds:
