I am at the Santa Rosa Gem and Mineral show and one of the vendors had this on display, labeled as an oyster. I’m not sure that’s correct and the lady said it could also be a cephalopod. Looks to me like a loosely coiled ammonite, what does everyone think?

Hello, everyone! Here is another preparation sequence. This is a Lower Cretaceous (Aptian) piece containing ammonites Acanthoplites nolani Seunes, 1887, Diadochoceras nodosocostatum D'Orbigny, 1841 and small Euphylloceras sp. from the North Caucasus of Russia (Krasnodar region, bank of the river Hokodz).

Hi folks! I got some douvilleiceras that I want to clean up a bit. Ive let them soak in water and then i used a toothbrush and tried to scrape off some of it. It made a minor difference, its like hard clay but not the easiest to get rid off. Do you have any advice what I could do without the risk of damaging the specimens? I do not have any special tools/machines, Just a dremel tool and a engraver.

I got in a 3 hr hunt before the rain and flooding. Once the water started coming up I had to make a quick exit but still got wet. I managed to find a few things.

Total newbie here. I'm trying to catalog my ammonite collection and have a few pieces that I just can't seem to figure out. Both of these are evolute ammonites. Each has a bit of remaining iridescent nacre near the umbilicus, which is why I think they're likely Cretaceous fossils from Madagascar. The outermost spiral of the larger one has considerable girth (27 mm across the squared off end), while the smaller one is pretty uniform (9mm at the squared off end) and almost wholly agatized. The small one came from a rock shop in Northern California (Chapman's), and the larger one came from online; both claimed to be from Madagascar. I know some of the diagnostic characteristics have been polished off, but I'd really love to know at least what family or genus these are. Thank you very much for your help! Er...I might have more mystery ammonites after this. Is it less annoying to put them all into one post, or spread them out over a few weeks?

Hello, I recently recieved an unidentified ammonite as a present and was told it came from Gotland, Sweden. However, I cannot find any information on ammonite finds from Gotland, and it looks a lot like a Madagascan Perisphinctes to me. Any thoughts? The scale is in centimeters.

I had a great day on the North Sulphur River Texas. I kayaked a few miles but found most of my quality items right by the first bridge and surrounded by tracks. The shark verts were in situ coming out of the clay. I only found 3 but I feel more will come out with another rise. I will come back and check the location. The big piece of turtle shell looked like old metal in the water so I'm sure people had been walking over it. The mosasaur tooth is nice but broken on one side. The artifacts were a nice bonus.

Hello. I found this very weathered ammonite in a stream bed in Northeastern BC, Canada. Geological maps indicate Albian age (Fort St John Group- Shaftsbury). I am wondering if it can be further identified to a species level. Thank you.

I went hunting in the rain yesterday. It wasn’t one of my most successful hunts, but I still managed to find some cool stuff. I found this in The Grayson Formation, Cretaceous in the Denton, TX area. I had never hunted that area of the Grayson before and it was different as every area of the Grayson seems to be. I found this section of a heteromorph. I don’t believe it is a Mariella. I am wondering if it could be a section of Turrilites. I believe it only has 2 rows of tubercles. Any thoughts? Side view Top down view Edge view

Hello everyone! I recently went on my first fossil digging adventure here in Germany on my way back from the Alps. I only had a couple hours to poke around at the Eichstätt fossil quarry, but managed to find a few specimen during that time. It might not be much to some of you but considering it was my first attempt I was quite happy! I honestly could have spent days digging if time allowed.

Hello Fellow Fossiliers!! So whilst on a field trip with the OUGS in Lyme Regis the other day I stumbled upon this rock which has a bivalve and a partial (what would have been huge) ammonite in it. As you can see the ammonite has undergone mineral replacement and has crystallised, seen as its not really structural intact from the outside and seems to only be 1/16th of a complete fossil would this look good if I sliced it in half to open up the inside? And, if so, seen as I have no real prepping/cutting tools to speak of how would you recommend I go about it? I have asked a local mason to run it through their machines, they quoted £30 max depending on how hard the stone ends up being, I would prefer to do it myself and have the tools and ability to do it again should i need to. It stands roughly 18cm high on its end as picture. Thank you all in advance for your opinions and advice!

I found this lovely calcite ammonite at Saltwick Bay along the Yorkshire coast of the UK a while back. There was no shell remaining from what I can tell, leaving just the calcite formed inside. Not sure if this is common at all?

So I recently purchased this ammonite off of the popular auction site for a good price, not something I usually do, but it looked nice and was already out onto a plinth. Unfortunately the seller doesn’t know where or when it was collected, and my knowledge only really expands along the yorkshirecoast in the U.K. I was wondering if anybody could help me with identification please. Thanks.

It’s been a long time since I posted here. So here’s a thanks to everybody that’s helped me out in the past on here. It’s seriously appreciated. So. Here’s a lovely 6 inch Hildoceras I found recently at Kettleness, I’m the Yorkshire coast. She’s a beauty. A few of the outer whorl chambers are a little crush, but it just adds to the piece of think

Hi folks, I found these two fragments on the Puntledge River in Courtenay, British Columbia, Canada. These are from shale rock of Upper Cretaceous age. I think the one on the right might be a heteromorph ammonite and but I have no idea on the left one. Perhaps a thick shell? The pieces are about 5cm in length in the photo. I would really appreciate any ideas on what type of fossils these are. Cheers, Martin
