I found this fossil in my garden a few years ago. Always wondered more about it and really have no idea about this kind of thing. I find it fascinating seeing the different layers. Does anyone have any information on this kind of fossil? Found near Northampton, England.

Is this ammonite fossil real or fake ?
Ashv11 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I found this in my boyfriend’s new house, it was previously owned by an old couple and they left behind everything. This was in a bucket with random rocks I assume they found. This was at the very bottom. Upon further research I found that it might be fake so wondering how I would be able to tell. The swirl lines don’t look to be carved and if they were they did so slightly. So I can’t tell- 6 replies

I can't identify this ammonite from Germany, maybe it's Pleuroceras? Please help me! Thx

Whether true ammonite or not
shreyam posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi. I'm a new member. I love to collect different types of river stones but never found a true fossil. Recently I bought two supposedly ammonite fossils from a small shop at Manali, Himachal pradesh, India. Can anyone please help me identify whether they are true or fabricated?

I just got this back from my friend who prepared it for me today. I found it in December. I thought some of you may enjoy seeing it. It's a lovely example and I collected it from Whitby, England.

Hi all! We found this fossil a few days ago on a trip to Charmouth, UK. I’m brand new to fossil prep and I thought I give this a go. However this one confuses me a little because I’m not sure what is the best approach. Should I try to clean it up on the agatized side or the other side? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Devonian Ammonoids, Cephalopods, and More from Foreknobs Formation of New Castle, Virginia
fossil_lover_2277 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hiked up to some Devonian Foreknobs Formation exposures yesterday on a mountain in the Jefferson National Forest in Craig County, Virginia. Found some awesome and beautiful ammonoids, cephalopods, and more!!! Now I’ve just gotta find some trilobites and crinoids...lol Some of the better ammonoids I found in some mudstone: Some of the different types of cephalopods along with some brachiopods: And 2 unknowns, not a clue in the world what these are:

This is a newly purchased ammonite, but I don't have any information, so I'm asking a question. The seller said it came from the Paja Formation.

Russian Audoliceras resto?
Mochaccino posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, How much of this Russian ammonite seems natural and original? Any compositing or restoration (aside from the obviously poorly-restored inner whorl section)? To me it looks good aside from the inner whorl, but sometimes they restore these super well so it can be hard to tell. @Kanopus

From the album: Russian Lower Kimmeridgian ammonites

I found this ammonite, nothing I’ve ever found before. Notice the raised ribs every 3-4 ribs. What do you think? Tarrant county, near a Kiamichi/Fort Worth/Paw paw formation border but it could be Goodland. Lots of small Hemiaster echinoids and smaller Oxytropidoceras ammonites. This one looks Mortoniceras to me!

Hi everyone, my name is Gavin and I’d like to say hi. I am a Geology major that likes to dabble in the paleo world. My beginnings in fossil hunting were as a little kit with my parents but by the time I was in middle school I didn’t do it very often but after I got into a geology class in college I regained my passion for hunting and I’ve been going strong since last fall. I look forward to see what every one has to post! Posted below are some of my best sharks teeth finds so far.

The other day I found this strange looking rock on the beach at Port Mulgrave- a well known fossil hunting site near Whitby. I'd be interested to know if anyone has any ideas as to what it might be before I go ahead and hammer it out...it looks like a typical nodule from the area with several distinct lumps. I hypothesise a group of Ammonites but this is only a guess. Any help would be much appreciated!

one of my favorites in the collection. I dont know where it comes, but it's beautiful to show and display. I bought this piece at the beginning of the year when my love for fossils was leading me into collecting. It was one of the pieces that encouraged me to continue in this beautiful hobby, which I hope to dedicate myself to someday. These Ammonites means lot to me. I wish you all a New Year full of fossils and prosperity! Álvaro

Dear All, Another ID request for you, though only of part of a fossil. I recently acquired a Macrocephalites madagascariensis, originally found in Anwil, Switzerland. It has some sort of internal structure in the shell (see attached photos), but I'm not entirely sure what it is and searching for ammonite anatomy on the internet hasn't given me the answers I've been looking for either. Would any of you happen to know what it is? Many thanks in advance! Nick

Hello, I wanted to get some opinions on this heteromorphic ammonite. It is said to be a Colchidites breistrofferi (61 mm) from the Uppermost Barremian of Paja Fm. in Santander, Colombia. Seller claims no reconstruction/restoration, but it looks quite rough to me. Does it seem legitimate? Is this typically how rough these are, or is this one just badly preserved/prepped? And does the ammonite look complete including living chamber? Thanks!

I found this Duck Creek Eopachydiscus ammonite back in March or April, east of Benbrook Lake in Tarrant county Tejas. . I forgot it was under my sink..lol! Any idea whether this missing chunk can be attributed to a bite mark or is it more likely from something else that crushed it? I’ve tried to provide various photos to see indentations that might give clues. If it’s nothing special, it’s going to become plastered into part of someone’s home entry display, otherwise I’ll keep it. 😆

I created my first fridge magnets long time ago, but desided reintroduce myself to that again. I mostly did modern animals like lizards and sharks, but also some paleo ones. I have been trying to improve them from basic ones long time ago.

Hi everyone! Archaeologist here, looking for help with an Ammonite ID 😄 My dad and I found these two Ammonites near Sherborne in Dorset, UK. If anyone is able to tell me the species/age, I would be so grateful!

Howdy! I excavated big chunk (40 lbs) of jurrasic ammonite or nautilus(?). Could you help me identify it? Much appreciate

Hi all! Here's a short trip report to show the diversity of fossil hunting conditions in the Jurassic. We have very few places with large inflated mid-Oxfordian ammonites, most of them are shown below. The red mark is on the site I discuss. It's on the Volga too, but much less accessible and productive than others. The site is situated some 10km to the east of Kineshma, a not-so-rich middle-sized town. I visited it in various seasons but couldn't catch a suitable water level. The shore is either under snow or the water is already high and remains high throughout the year.
