the oldest jurassic ammonites you can find in Germany are Psiloceras. Its the earliest Ammonit in the Jurassic ever. A very "boring one", no or less fine ribs, no spikes... But great and not easy to find. This nice slab comes from northwestern Germany, Horn-Bad Meinberg. from a road construction in the 80th of last century© fossils worldwide

I took some photo's of an ammonite shell transfer and repair I did several years ago and turned it into a vidoe. I had lots of fun putting this together. https://youtu.be/L3KVIV8N4Po

In 1975 it was possible to dig in middle jurassic sediments in the center of Hannover-Mühlenberg. During the construction of a subway, rocks from the Middle Dogger were tapped. There were many fossils to be found like this very beautiful 8 cm Macrocephalites macrocephalus. Perfect condition© fossils worldwide

Good morning, afternoon or evening. Last weekend I purchased an Ammonite at a gem and mineral show in Conroe, Texas. The seller indicated that it was from France, but had no other information. Could anyone help me ID the ammonite from the attached pictures? I'm thinking that it's something like Harpoceras sp. but that's a Google pictures guess. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Daniel

Long time no see guys! Thought I’d come back with a bang. A few months back I headed out, just after recovering from covid, so of course, not back at 100%, but well enough to get some exercise. Of course, the first thing I stumble on, is a rather large nodule. Now, these nodules don’t normally contain anything, and are usually filled with a calcite core, but always fun to hit regardless. After one tap with the hammer, it revealed a cross section of a rather large ammonite known as Harpoceras (falciferum). Not a super rare Ammonite by any means, but definitely uncommon. I lost my head. The thing weighed A LOT. So it was bagged up, and on I had to walk for almost two miles. A rough walk back to say the least. Had to weigh the bag when I got home. The block alone weighed over 5 stone (33kgs). That excludes hammers and chisels etc, thanks @LiamL for carrying the rest of my fossils for me haha. Time to prep. There was a lot of matrix to remove, so some cuts were made with the angle grinder to shorten the time of prep down . Then pen down. Until I finally reveal the first large ammonite seems I knew where it was sat. After a few more angle grinder cuts to the other half of the nodule, I actually found a 2nd large Harpoceras. Missing it by about 2mm. VERY LUCKY. Also very happy of course. Though now prep time was increased more so, plus it was sat at the most awkward angle possible, but we persevere. Easily my most challenging prep to date. I have also been filming the prep, every last step of the way to document it. I took a few weeks off recently to concentrate on some customer prep, and to give my hands rest from the thing. So here’s where it sits currently. Both ammonites are fully exposed. The second needs the middle finishing, though saving the for last as it’s incredibly sticky and that awkward angle makes it all the more difficult. I’ll be sure to update in the comments once it’s finished. So yeah, hope you all enjoyed that long winded post. It’s certainly a labour of love, and I hope I don’t find another one again soon (liar).

Hello together, I just bought this thing online labelled as a septarian nodule with pyrite. From Germany, no further info. It looks quite fossilish to me, maybe like an ammonite? I just cant see exactly what the pyritized "ribbons" may be. I do not have it yet, so sorry, no scale. Size is 10x8x3cm. Any ideas? Thanks, J

Hello, I have bought this ammonite, only knowing that it is from Montreuil-Bellay, France. To me it looks like Perisphinctes virguloides, but I am not sure, any ideas? After examining it nearly, I noticed a hole, that looks to perfect to have been made. What do you think about it? Ruler is in cm. Thanks!

Hello, I'd love some identification help on this lil ammonite fossil I purchased at the Tucson Gem Show. The dealers were Russian and all the info I could get was that the ammonites were Russian as well It is a bit pyritized. I bought 2, I used the larger one to make a mold and cast. The original did not survive the process so I have included pics of the cast (the one with the loop added, lol), I think it's easier to see details on that as well. Additionally, if you have any rec's for online or in print resources for ammonite ID they would be much appreciated. I found myself googling around in circles trying to find info to ID this myself. Thanks in advance, Maranda

Hi everybody, i need help to identify that Oxfordian Perisphinctidae i found yesterday in a quarry of Charente, South-West of France. I think it could be a Zigzagceratinae indosphinctes, but that's only a supposition. I also thought it could be a choffatia, but i don't know if they can be that big (an important part of it is lacking) as you can see on the second pic with my friend's hand as scale. The scale on the first pic is in inches. Thank you for your help.

One of my favourite fossils in my collection: a Cleoniceras sp. ammonite
gond posted a topic in Member Collections
This is one of my favourite fossils of my collection. Hope you like it too! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Species: Cleoniceras sp. Size: 6,6 cm x 5,3 cm x 1,9 cm Age: 145,5 mya (Lower Cretaceous) Origin: Tulear, Madagascar About the fossil: the beautiful red color of the shell and the more "white" one near the center of the specimen are a product of opalization (more specifically, the type of opal that formed in this specimen is red opal). Edit: It's not opal, it's aragonite.

OK, I missed the Fossil Friday post by a day. The cold weather lately has kept me indoors and away from fossil exploration, so here is a partial prep of a partial ammonite from the Lake Texhoma Duck creek fm. Prepping something no true separation of "fossil" and matrix is quite challenging, especially considering how well they can, at times, weather out and become separated naturally. The matrix seems to be getting harder to separate as I move toward smaller sections. I can make out that this does have the inner whorls , so I dont want to blow them out. This has really slowed me down on this prep. It seems like my larger scribe (with a blunter tip) is doing better at removing the matrix than my smaller CP9160 which is a lot more prone to just piercing through.

Here are a few interesting items found this weekend at the Waco Pit (Waco, Texas). What i suspect is an echinoid spine (??) (#1) is something i had not seen before at this location. I also thought the serpulid (harmulus morton ??? maybe) (#11) worm tube with its 6 ridges was interesting.
