A little Hildoceras I picked up recently from Saltwick Bay in Whitby. Unfortunately I didn’t take any before pictures to show. All that was showing was the top of the keel and a small portion of the outer whorl. It’s be no means finished yet, but thought people might enjoy the process so far. Iv prepped out some of the matrix underneath to give the ammonite a floating effect.

I recently bought this ammonite online from china at the bargain price of £9 free p+p but I have no idea what species it is or even where it was originally found.

Trilobite, Ammonite and Amber
Vallads posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, This is my first topic so, if i broke some forum rule or doing something wrong, please tell me, sorry. Also, english is not my native language, im trying to write correctly. Ok, im very very newbie in fossil subject but love science and decided to start my own collection. Well, i found this (pictures bellow). The owner received as a gift and has no extra information, just they came from a north america store's. Well, my main question is: this trilobite is real? What is that in her "head" (cephalon, right?) ? I mean, i know some cracks in fossils are signs of autenthicity but something like that? Maybe the original fossil is missing this part and the preparer tried to fix? Or it's normal? And.. its a phacops? (i know the picture is bad, not focused) How about this ammonite and amber? Are they real ? Thank you very much for any information !

Finally got a few hours to hunt around my local creek, I had found one mosasaur vert once before there so I decided to dig farther into the wall to see if there was more, to my surprise there was, the first one came out okay but the second one was really really crumbly. First one first

Hello there, i usually dont buy fossils. What interested me is what i find basically. Nevertheless i acquired a batch of fossils during autumn, mostly tertiary shells ( i knew the seller and was ##### to see it leave a good home. There were also a few ammonites. Amongst those, there was this one labelled as "dactiloceras, england, jurassic" I assume that this is Dactyloceras from Whitby. Could someone confirm that ? Could it be possible to narrow it to specie? D commune ? And last what is the precise era ? Toarcian? Regards

Last year, for my very first holiday time at work, I received a bottle of wine and an ammonite from Madagascar necklace from my secret Santa. The necklace was one of the best gifts I have ever received, hands down! I have worn it almost everyday for a year and today, sadly, I discovered that the ammonite is broken. It is still held together by the metal (outline?), but it is loose. I want to save this, as it has a lot of sentimental value to me. I have some Paraloid B72 that is 5% paraloid/95% acetone. Would this be useful if I was able to seal the outside of it? Please tell me I can save it so I can continue to wear it. I feel lost, especially at work, when I’m not wearing it. I’ve uploaded pictures of the breaks, but if there is any confusion please let me know and I can clarify. Thank you so much!

I bought this ammonite at a gem show the other day. It is about 2.5" across. I know it is real, but am curious about how "natural" it is- has it been excessively polished, cut, or otherwise altered? I know most Madagascar ammonites are altered in some way.

Another Morrocan Ammonite?
elsmotro posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello people. This is my first time here. I have been collecting fossils for a while now, since I usually hunt them myself, I had never had any problem. Last weekend I bought this fossil in an exposition, I paid 10,00 euros. It doesn't look carved or too clean, but since I read that "The authentic ones have long been cleaned out", I got suspicious. What do u guys think? Is it real? (I also got a trilobite, I'm going to post it here later.) thank you in advance

I collected this ammonite from Browns Hill quarry in Holwell UK. It’s from the Whitby mudstone formation from a mudstone grey finely laminated and fissile (paper shales). I’ve coated the ammonite with a very fine paraloid solution just to stabilize it. Has anyone else collected ammonites such as these as I can’t find any references to them. Reverse side

A friend of mine gave this to me along with some other random geological specimens. It was from a collection he inherited, and he doesn't know where it came from. Just trying to get an idea of what this ammonite is called and and maybe what period it's from.

Originally the specimen was collected as a concretion from upper Pierre Shale Formation near the lowest level of the Fox Hills Formation. The collection location is Cedar Creek about seven miles south of Glendive, Montana. The Date collected was Oct. 12, 2018. Later, I removed most of the concretion/matrix with diamond blade and bits. Two of the hoploscaphites spedeni were badly crushed and fractured during fossilization and are missing half of shells. During prep, I miscalculated the depth of cutting blade, slightly damaging the middle scaphites.
