Help request! I am putting together a tool for judging rock age based on very crude, whole-rock, hand-sample observations of fossil faunas/floras -- the types of observations a child or beginner could successfully make. I view this as a complement to the very fine, species-level identifications commonly employed as index fossils for individual stages, biozones, etc. Attached is what I've got so far, but I can clearly use help with corals, mollusks, plants, vertebrates, ichnofossils, and the post-Paleozoic In the attached file, vibrant orange indicates times in earth history to com- 5 replies

I've got the assignment to identify and collect data on these three ammonite fossils. My best guesses are that the first two are from Ceratites and that the third one is Dactylioceras. The first two are about ten to twelve centimeteres in diameter, the third one about eight. Since my School is still closed due to the current situation, these are the only pictures i have got.

How to polish ammolite and make it look shiny and multicolored
RiseOfTheExtinct posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I've posted some pictures of the ammonite I bought and want to polish. If you look at the third picture, (ammonite 2.jpg), you will see that on the ammonite some rainbow color resides. I want to make the whole ammonite that color. Is there any way to polish it to make the rainbow show more? Correct me if I'm wrong, but that rainbow color is fossilized mother of pearl aka Ammolite. Does anyone know the following? If you could answer, that'd be a big help. Thank you for your future words! Any suggestions welcome. You'll never know what will work. The best way to cle -
From the album: 1925 Body & Trace Fossil Collection - Ocean
These are the three segments of Ammonoids in the collection that are easy to ID. Because the Ammonite came in many shapes and sizes, it is hard for me to say if these are segments of the same ammonite or three separate specimens. These still have dirt on them and didn't know if I should clean them or leave them alone? Ammonite 01 has a tube that is loose, the 'tube' would be the siphuncle used in adjusting the buoyancy in ammonoids and nautiloids in ammonites it is located ventrally and is more central in nautiloids. I assume because all of the fossil collection is either stone or amber, no fu© GOD's Design 2019

Dear forum members, I have just joined the forum and need your help for ammonoid identification. Although I´m an aquatic biologist of extant animals, my knowlege is very limited regarding fossil creatures. I´ve just acquired two ammonoid display specimens through the family of a deceased Japanese-Brazilian regarded merchant of ornamental stones. These pieces belonged to his private collection and didn´t receive a data tag because the informations were in his mind. His family only recalls those ammonoids to have been brought from Japan many years ago, but most likely have originated elsewhere

[videos & photos] My collection of fake fossils
adriano posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone, I'm an Italian amateur collector with a small but nice collection of fossils and minerals that I started when I was 5yo in 1995. Then at 15yo I put apart my passion until few days ago when, using my 3D printer, I made some nice modular drawer to reorder in my collection of +-1000 pieces. I will finish the project in the next weeks and I will share it with you, as it can be of inspiration for your collection as well. Doing this hard work, I looked with a more mature point of view some big fossils that my parents and friends (not experts!) gave me as present many -
The included photograph shows a fossil that we can’t quite place. Would any of you be able to positively identify the fossil we found at Portmarnock Beach, Ireland. We think it may be Estonioceras but are not sure. It is approximately 7cm in diameter. Can anybody shed some light on this. Thanks.

I found these fossils in Polvoeira beach, Portugal. I spent many time trying to identify them and research about the geological formations where they were found....However, I need that someone help me verify if those Id's are correct. So: 1-Found in Sinemurian layers, in Praia da Polvoeira (Polvoeira beach)- My guess it's :very weathered Pachymya sp.
