Found this cheeky Ammonite last week, well worn but potential on one side, gave it a tap or two and here we have it, first I thought was the centre of a Phylloceras but I'm not convinced looking at it, Yorkshire coast find, cheers.

For Saturday's adventure installment, I threw out invites to several buddies to join me at an artifact pay dig on the Lampasas River. My good friend Anthony jumped on the opportunity. We only found 3 or 4 frameworthy points each, plus brokes, but we had a good time. I got to see Anthony find his first Texas points, while I scored a new type for me (Darl?) and my smallest point ever, a Scallorn.

Hi all, I got those ammonites from @cheney416 in a blind trade. They come from Morocco, but the exact location is unknown. Apparently they are from the Bajocian stage of the Jurassic; 170 mya), but I can't find any Jurassic locations in Morocco containing ammonites... Does anyone know what species these are, and what location they could come from? Thanks, Max

Hi all I found a large piece of an ammonite at Whitby, the whole thing would of been more than a foot across. Would be great if I could get what species of ammo it is. Thanks for looking.
-
I have no idea what species this is, but I’d like to know if the outer portion is part of the ammonite or just matrix. Debating whether to haul it out of here or not.

From the album: Lias Ammonites

Picked this up at auction..don’t know what it is. Can anyone help me? Thanks so much. It is very heavy. Has some marking on bottom but can read. Sounds mentally when singing with edge of scissors.

Found this on the foreshore at Kettleness yesterday (where incidentally there were far less fossils than I have ever seen there a dozen times or more) As anyone any idea what species it is? Apart from this only a couple of the usual Dactilyoceras Peter Ryder

Fossil ID: Vertebrea, Belemnoidea, Ammonites, Dino egg, crustacean, petrified wood, partial jaw...
lildragon posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello everyone, I'm from Belgium and currently tasked with securing a secondary fossil collection owned by the grandfather of my husband. We are emptying an attic, and securing quite a number of fossils. Many of them already have an ID, some of them however lack one. Apologies in advance for the poor quality of pictures, there is little to no light/electricity inside the rooms we need to vacate, so picture quality will be appalling at first. I am aiming for a basic ID here, if possible I might be able to provide more detailed pictures once the fossils have been properly packed and moved. #1 : Could this be a dinosaur egg? #2: vertebrae of different sizes + plate of petrified wood in the background. Looking for possible ID on these vertebrae. #3: Petrified wood, which type? #4 : Small crustacean? #5: Fossilized shell from morocco? #6: Partial fossilized jaw? #7: Belemnoidea, the two in the front? (they seem to be very large).(1).png.009cb641ca00f4febc50dfb87796e74c.png)

Found this rather large ammonite down at Charmouth on the stonebarrow side. Rather new to the whole identification side of things so any help would be much appreciated ☺️

Never seen one like this before.
caldigger posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Saw this on our favorite auction site. The only description is "ammonite from Madagascar". Something seems real funky about this guy. Is it carved to look like this? I have never seen one that has flattened out whirls like this.

Hi this is Matt again today I went down to the creek by my house and found a fossil with 3 coral fossils in it so far this has been the best fossil I have this year so far. when I was down there most of the creek was clear of the snow and that was how I found this great fossil today. here is a photo

Okay, help me out here. Somebody posted the following images on the Fossil Forum Facebook group. Not the best pictures in the world, however, the ribbing, keel and overall appearance make it clear that this is an ammonite. However, somebody on the group, claiming to be a highly qualified expert, says that this is in fact a nautiloid, pointing to 'the sutures' as proof. I don't see any sutures, but he says that the ribs are 'external expressions of septa'. Now. I have been wrong before. But, unless I'm slowly succumbing to madness, this is an ammonite. As clear as day. This highly learned man tells me that I am uneducated and don't know what I'm talking about. He is presumably just trolling, but I'm never one to back down from an argument under any circumstances, so I would welcome a second opinion. At the very least, I can pop off down the doctors for a referral to a suitable brain hospital, if it turns out that I've started to confuse different types of cephalopod.

This is probably a really "beginner" question... but I keep seeing references to Tractor Ammonites. What does the "tractor" refer to? Because they "pulled" things? I'm sort of embarrassed to ask, but I really want to know! Dpaul7

I have a batch of fossils, mostly small gastropods, from the Waco shale pit. Most of them look pyritized to some degree, so I want to treat them to be sure they don't fall apart. Thing is, they're really small- most under 1cm, some as small as 1mm square, and one ammonite that's something like 3mm across. My original plan was to soak them in Iron Out overnight, wash them with dish soap and a toothbrush, and then coat them in butvar. Is this still the best way to go? Should I soak them for less time since they're so tiny? And any tips on bushing butvar onto such tiny fossils?

Went out today for a few hours and found this sweet looking ammonite imprint, with fish scale bonus!
-
Found this today, looks similar to a Tenuicostatum as many ribs and very close together but very large in comparison, found on Yorkshire coast, thanks.

Help needed to identify these ammonites and shark teeth. Thanks.

Hello guys! While I was around Kugaaruk in Nunavut, Canada, I've found this nice ammonite. It was on the sea shore, on the surface, I just had to flip a rock to find it. The fossil itself is about 7 cm in diameter. Is it detailed enough to identify it properly? Thank you!
-
How do you guys/gals polish down and what do you use to avoid damage to the fossil ? Thanks.
-
I've done bits & pieces in the last few months, detailing etc, but found this a few days back, knew had a chance of good preservation inside due to the colour, spent about an hour on it, still not finished but came up good, any tips on finishing welcome, thanks. Alan.
-
What do we think the story is ? Just happened to fall onto the Ammonites at time of death or fed on the remains and became entombed/fossilized themselves ? Thanks.
-
I would truly appreciate any response to my question. I recently purchased these 2 ammonite fossils but I suspect they are fakes. Can anyone help?

Hello all! I'm wondering, if there are any fossil sites in the UK with fossil shark teeth. I know in UK there are tons of places with ammonites, but what about shark teeth? As long as it's shark teeth, I want to find it. But if there's megalodon teeth in UK, I'd spend days looking for one. Any ideas where to find shark teeth in UK? Thanks for all replies!
