I've been trying to vary my ammonite collection with some rarer found species. I still have plenty of gaps to fill but I've got plenty of searching time ahead of me yet I'm also quite picky with which specimens I keep for my own collection, hence the small number. These are all self found and prepared by different talented fossil preparers. Lower Lias Oxynoticeras simpsoni, Robin Hoods Bay Androgynoceras heterogenes, Robin Hoods Bay

Hi everyone, I purchased this Lyme Regis specimen a few weeks ago and have been working on it with a pin vice and Dremel (with the proper fossil/rock appropriate tips) and am fairly happy with my progress. I am quite new to prepping and this is the first multi block I have attempted. The rock is not terribly hard for the most part but can be a bit sticky. Yesterday, whilst trying to uncover an ammonite in the corner of the rock, I uncovered another ammonite, and then another, and then a bivalve. The three ammonites are all pretty much on top of each other and I don't k

Suggestions Needed! Eastern Oregon Collecting Tour
Nathaniel Edmonds posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello all!! I am a graduate student at Oregon State University, a geologist by trade, but a paleobotanist on the side (see my publication :https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/721261?journalCode=ijps). I am going to add to my Paleocene fossil plant collections, and am going to make a tour all around eastern Oregon. I will of course visit Fossil (again) for some more Bridge Creek Flora specimens, but do not personally know the area super well. Do any of you have any recommendations for plant fossil locations where I can legally collect? It would mean the world to me, I -
Hi all, me again, I wanted to share a closeup of the bone fragments that I found in Ramanessin to see if I could get them ID'd further since I know how the brook tends to make fake fossil bones i want to check that the ones I found are real fossil bone 1) the big one, i think it might be a cretaceous turtle shell, it passed the burn, and the lick test. 1A) I believe these are also enchodus jaw fragments. 2) 2A)

Stick around, this one's a read but I'll try to make it fun. So, I have been to big brook last year, and While I enjoyed it, since I went in early feb, the ground was frozen which prevented me from finding much, as the brook was stingy that day. Nonetheless I decided to try my luck with Ramanessin as i heard good things about it. Because none of my family or friends could be bothered, I decided to take a day off work and drive 4 hours to the area and spend the night so I could get the most out of the location. what follows is the result of 2 days straight of fossil hunting. which I

Hello! First post on the forum! I'm very much a hobby collector. Just a few years collecting mostly jurassic fossils in the UK. Somerset, Dorset, Yorkshire etc... Found this rather beautiful ammonite the other day at Stonebarrow, Charmouth in Dorset. Any help with ID would be much appreciated. Looking forward to collaborating on the forum in the future.

I recently visited the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa and was able to purchase some fossils from the gift shop. Picture 1 is my personal favorite, it was labeled as a shark tooth, but I haven't been able to identify a species yet, any help is appreciated. Picture 2 is an ammonite, duh Picture 3 is a smoothed Orthoceras Picture 4 is a collection of smaller shark teeth I got together in a box.

Hey forum! It’s now spring break for me and we’re out road tripping and camping all over Texas Since I’ve got time to burn between destinations I’d love to reflect on some cool fossils Ive found over the past few chilly months! *So first of all I want to throw this out there: I followed heart and I started college! Last year in summer I found out everything about how I’ve been a brain trauma victim with amnesia and when I came back to Texas after some time in Iceland the first thing I wanted to do was go back to college to be a paleontologist like I originally planned to y

Im guessing, but it was around 15/16 years ago when I went on a float trip down the Marias River here in Montana to hunt for fossils. Not a clue if we would find anything but fortunately we came home with some stuff. This one ammonite, Mariasensis turned out to be one very rare ammonite. I made a short little 1:30 minute video for anyone who would like to see it. Enjoy. RB https://youtu.be/bM_yZs1uvxI

Can anyone tell me if this is a real or fake Ammonite?
curiousfossildude posted a topic in Fossil ID
Was recently in AZ and went to the 22nd street fossil and gem show. Found an ammonite unlike any other I have ever seen so I decided to grab it. Just curious whether or not it's a real sample or well dressed eye candy fake. Was told it was from Morocco not Madagascar. Any thoughts? -
Hi everyone. I recently liberated this rather nice ammonite from a block found in a ploughed field near Chippenham, Wiltshire, UK. I believe it to be a Quenstedtoceras from the Kellaways beds (Callovian age). I'd really appreciate it if a more learned member could confirm this. My track record for self ID's thus far has been atrocious!

Please help me identify what species the ammonite is,from Morocco /Cretaceous Thank you
