Hello! I won an auction online to buy this ammonite someone found in a storage unit, they thought it was a snail! Any ideas on identification? The storage unit is in the USA but that doesn’t help with where it came from..I’m sorry but hopefully you understand the lack of information available given the background of how I acquired it. Madagascar is my first guess but I am ignorant on this topic and only know what I know! I don’t have it in my possession just yet.

Legal places to find Trilobites or Ammonites in California?
kwic13 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello! My first post here. I was just wondering if anyone knew of specific locals in order to find ammonites or trilobites in California? I found the website below somewhat useful, and have googled some of the locals on this area that have slightly pinpointed more specific areas, but I do know that sometimes fossils are only present on one part of one exposed cliff, and whatnot, and if I am going to go through the middle of nowhere, I don't want to not see fossils. http://www.fossilspot.com/STATES/CA.HTM Anyways, I haven't quite chosen my road trip route yet, but I will start in Calexico, CA and end in San Francisco, CA. I will likely go to the Chocolate Mountains, up to Blythe, CA, then across the Mojave to Bakersfield, CA (passing by the Trilobite Wilderness), then through the Carrizo Plains, and then up to Pinnacles NP, and then hopefully end up in San Francisco. If anyone knows a spot that isn't too inaccessible (I will have a 4WD), please let me know! Thank you. -
Pretty much the title- i have an ammonite i split recently. I started prep outside using safety a dremel 290 and wearing goggles and a paint respirator, worked for maybe an hour in total- but then i read about safety on zoicpaleotech and got terrified of getting/having given myself silicosis. Now i’m struggling to find the proper type of protection to continue- i cant find the one mask they suggested on the website, and i dont know how to pick a good one that will protect me against silica and other stuff. Any good suggestions?

From the album: Missouri Ammonoids, Nautiloids and Gastropods
Found this almost 2 years ago, but to my surprise, I never uploaded it! This is an interesting Goniatid as it seems to have Cerattic suture patterns. This is dated to the Pennsylvanian and most likely is from the Iola ls (Raytown member?) and is a beautiful specimen even though it is incomplete. -
I found this while fossil hunting for the first time. I’m curious if anyone can identify it. I found it on the side of a road in Lee Summit Missouri, Pennsylvania aged rock I believe.

I found this interesting mort last September, I’ve dubbed him Spikey. This came from my previously untapped Fort Worth formation spot that had ammonites laying around, just waiting for me to clean the spot out (until more erosion occurs). First pics are before preparation, last few are after. Mercer Brugler prepared these for me.

It was difficult to get a good photo. I brushed this untill I could see more. Found by blue river Kansas city. Is it an AMMONITE? It's sort of shaped like one very worn one. Not sure any help would be appreciated. Thx

After posting my trip report last week, these two partial ammonites pictured are without identification yet. Can anyone give me a suggestion as to their identity? They were beach finds on the Oklahoma side of the lake.

Hi All! Whilst in southern Spain I came across these three very interesting fossils (at least I know one of them is) please could you help identify the other two? #1 This shell like fossil was full of rock, which I managed to remove without damaging the shell. #2 I'm not so sure about this one, it has some interesting mineral going through it and the markings which looks like an arrow with a circle at the base are what caught my eye. #3 And the ammonite, correct me if this is wrong. Thanks in advance for any help that can be given 😁

From the album: Charmouth, UK 8/8/23
Picked it up initially because I thought it was a huge belemnite, but it definitely isn't. Not sure what it is, though! Man-made? Rock? Something else? -

Hi all from rural Worcestershire in the UK. Been collecting around 20 years but have now really got the bug!! Recently started prepping and getting lost in the shed for hours and hours. Looking forward to contributing in the future and conversing with like minded souls. Kind regards Craig

Greetings. I am here to do some fossil research for art projects. I work in mosaics and metal and up until now have just taken severe liberties in my creations and now I wish to create true to form. So basically, I will be looking around and learning, but I may have questions and so I thought it best to introduce myself. For the most part I will just lurk, as they say. I had a collection of specimens but now have exactly one fossil that survived over the years, an ammonite I bought in Morocco when I was in the Navy. Oddly enough, my mineral collection survived intact over time. I won't deny the old collecting bone is starting to jigger around, again. Good day to all.

Hey folks. Totally new here so please go gentle if this is obviously a rock.... I spent a bit of time down on the Jurassic Coast in the UK, Charmouth to be more precise. Whilst there I did abit of fossil hunting and, disappointingly, feel like I didnt find alot. I did find a small Ammonite but I also found a strangely shaped "item".... Ive added as many pictures as I could get from different angles. I don't have a ruler to hand so I added a pencil for reference, the pencil is generally new and un sharpened so id say about 18/19 cm. Any help on identifying it would be great! Thank you in advance

I was given this ammonite for Christmas by a co-worker that was moving out of state. He had no info on it unfortunately. 12.5cm at the widest by 3cm at the thickest. No ornamentation along the edge, but it does have some iridescence across both sides. Tried to get some of it to show in the pics & managed some. Color is an almost pearl white in hand. Any idea's?

I recently got these antique lithographs that were made in about 1910, that are from a rare set of trading cards about dinosaurs, prehistoric and strange animals by Heinrich Harder. On the back is information about the animal by naturalist William Bölsche. (I don’t speak German so I have no clue what they say) I absolutely love the artwork and plan to get a couple more. I thought you all would find them interesting as well!
