During summer drought months I often scout for new sites, and this summer was no different. I run all over the state for variety, and North Texas attracts a bit of my attention. It can be fun retracing old sites by accessing old papers, but I get my kicks by developing my own hunches, then executing successful prospecting trips. This site took me 2 long distance trips to pull together; one to scout and one to hunt. New sites come at a cost, but in terms of lifestyle, the cost is well worth it. Let’s cut straight to the action. A few lone Sciponoceras gracile ammonites showed t

I will trade these fossils for one well preserved European goniatite or European triassic ammonite (specimen with 5 to 8 cm preferentially) because that kind of specimen is lack in my teaching collection. Note the Anorthopygus orbicularis is not a common species and, apart the incomplete test, has an exceptional detailed preservation, rarely seen. Best regards, Ricardo Traded

We actually found this about 1.5 years ago, just before moving to Florida. (Moved here a year ago). My son got it while he was at my parent's house in the outskirts of east DFW (we lived in north DFW, they lived in east DFW - we both relocated to FL). Their area was well known for dinosaur bones and the likes, which is super crazy lol!! Common to dig them up in yards while doing fences and whatnot. Anyway - my stepdad took my son to the cul-de-sac (2 houses down), one day where they were starting to build more houses. Kiddo wanted to check out the dirt & rock piles... He ended findi

How can I know if my ammonite is real and not fabricated?
Albano Andrade Tomaz posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone! Me and daughter bought an ammonite fossil in Italy (mount vesuvius) this summer. We are totally naïfe and far below the level of knowledge of an amateur. Can anyone tell us if it’s a real one or a fake one? Thank you all for your precious help. best regards -
I was out walking the river the other day and found this piece of an ammonite. It appears to be the inner whorl. The middle was filled in with rock hard sediment so I removed it. It also appears to be agatized. The whorl appears to be somewhat offset from side to side. My question is, do ammonites usually have each side of the whorl straight across from each other or are they offset a little bit? I have added a few pictures but you may not be able to see the difference from one side to the other.

Fossil hunting trip to Cap Blanc Nez (Cretaceous of France)
ziggycardon posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi everyone, Last week after getting lots of recommendations from people I spend a couple of days at Cap Blanc Nez in France to look for some fossils. And while it wasn't to most bountyfull hunt I did have a lot of fun and I was very pleased with the little finds that I managed to do. We had very nice weather, it was sunny and the temperature was just perfect for fossil hunting, and the cliffs and beach (and landscape overall) were absolutely stunning. The fossils in Cap Blanc Nez date back to the Cretaceous and there are deposits from the Turonian, Cenoma -
Hi everybody, i recently went on an Oxfordian site and wondered about that ammonite. I thought it was a Taramelliceras dentostriatum but the opening seems different. This, i hesitate between Taramelliceras dentostriatum and proscaphites. It's average size is about two centimeters. What do you think guys ? @Ludwigia ?

Hey all, so I found this ammonite while on Monmouth Beach, Dorset. It looks rusted, and I've read that they can disintegrate over time but I haven't found a clear guide on what to do to; a) polish and clean the fossil and b) stop it from deteriorating If anyone has any advice that would be amazing! Thanks

Hi all! Just wanted to share my little collection of trilobites and pals now that I have a small assortment. I hope you enjoy! I’m working up to actually getting out in the field soon, so hopefully a few finds of my own might join these fellers!

I have no knowledge of this ammonite’s history. Does anyone have any idea of its type? It’s about 5 to 6 inches in diameter, a portion of it being fossilized with calcite.
