A Second Trip to the Pawpaw/Mainstreet Site. Complete Micro Engonoceras!
EPIKLULSXDDDDD posted a topic in Fossil ID
This last Sunday, I decided to dedicate the afternoon to scoping out a couple of prospective Woodbine sites and eventually make a return to my Pawpaw/Mainstreet spot from my most recent post. Unfortunately, the two Woodbine sites were complete duds. I left the high ninety degree weather with nothing but a tan. Thankfully, I saved the best site for last, so I was hopeful that my luck could still turn around before the sun left the sky. Things started off not being so productive. It was just rock after rock with the occasional concretion stealing away my attention. I was directing mo -
With pleasure I want to show you my collection of fossils - it's a work in progress. My first piece is this Lycoptera davidi from Western Liaoning, my brother's gift for my birthday. The plate is 13 centimeters long, the fish 8 centimeters long.

I recently purchased a rather large ammonite via auction from a seller in Singapore. It got held up in customs and I just received a notice of detention asking for documentation to prove it is legal. I wasn't aware that there is any law prohibiting import of fossils of extinct species from that region. Am I mistaken, or does customs just not know what they're doing?

First Ammonite and Fossilized Sand dollar
Gulo_gulo posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Checked out a new rock store and have always wanted an Ammonite fossil. Was browsing and wanted to make sure this and the Sand dollar are real? I'm very inexperienced so I can't really tell. Thank you! -

Impromptu Construction Site Hunt. Grayson Marl and Pawpaw Formation
EPIKLULSXDDDDD posted a topic in Fossil ID
Following a refreshing swim at the lake with a few friends over the weekend, I decided to take a spur-of-the-moment stop at a construction site I happened to be driving by. The sun was setting, cooling the area and finally making it hospitable despite the recent heat wave. I was not familiar with the exact geology of where I was, but with only an hour and a half of daylight left I decided to not waste too much time and immediately began scouring the dirt. I quickly noticed that the ground was composed of two distinct formations. The higher layer was a grey limestone while the layer- 7 replies

Hey all, I picked up these 2 ammonites too cheap to leave but the seller had no provenance. Ammonites and their genera / species are not something I know much about but a little research suggests they might be from Madagascar Can anyone tap in to their ammonite knowledge banks and help me out a bit? The darker one has an obvious little restoration work on the shell The other has a repair but overall they seem like really nice specimens Scale - CM

Hello all. I just got back from an open day at a gem and mineral club. I picked up some fossils while I was there. Unfortunately, the mineral guys aren't so knowledgeable on fossils, so many were mislabelled and dont have information on them. I would love it if you guys could help me out. Ammonite from Morocco Two ammonites that come from Chile, I think... And lastly an urchin that came with no information

I mentioned in my last post that I would be going back to NSR today, taking my girlfriend for her first ever fossil hunting trip. As I suspected, we didn't find nearly as much as I did Friday, even though we ended up hiking even further up the river. But she got her fossil collection started by finding the prettiest ammonite I've seen at NSR, and we had a fun time at the river. We were the first vehicle in the parking lot this morning, but there were lots of folks in the river when we left.

I drove down to the North Sulfur River Friday morning. It was my first trip to the new temporary fossil park. This part of the river was my favorite even before the new park. But it looked very different in 2020 than it does now. It's a muddy mess right now. There were clean washed gravel bars everywhere in 2020, but now the gravel bars are all covered with dried mud and clay pieces. I wondered if the diggers and sifters had the better plan Friday, but I didn't bring my sifter, so I made a long hike away from the bridge, and spent my time searching gravel bars. With so many clay pieces coverin

What is the Ammonite with the greatest number of whorls? Which one has the least?
MeargleSchmeargl posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
After looking at different pictures of ammonites for a hot minute this burning question hit me. I know that some ammonites have a greater number of whorls from keel to umbilicus than others, but which ammonites have the most/least number of whorls in their shells from keel to umbilicus? I haven't yet found any satisfying answer in my own searches and I know this is gonna be one of those questions that keeps me up at night. -
