I recieved a large (32cm. in diameter) ammonite on commission recently which turned out to be rather complicated to prepare. It's a Fissilobiceras sp. from the ovale zone in the Early Bajocian from the Wutach valley. Most of it was imbedded in matrix, so it wasn't possible to judge at first in what kind of condition the inner whorls were and it was too fragile to just have a quick go at it with hammer and chisel in order to find out, so I had to take the slower route peeling off layer after layer with the stylus. Here's how both sides looked to begin with. After

I have a very proficient and capable customer (actually he's become more of a friend and colleague with time) when it comes to seeking and finding good fossils, and he struck again last week, bringing me quite a large ammonite with a diameter of ca. 40cm. for preparation. He sent me a photo of it which he took during the extraction procedure. The matrix was pretty tough, so he ended up having to extricate it in several pieces, most of which he glued back together before he brought it to me. I did some stylus work on it to begin with and then we were faced with the deci

From the album: Middle Jurassic Ammonites from Southern Germany
I prepped this ammonite with a diameter of 50cm. for a customer who allowed me to show it here. I had to glue the living chamber back on which was in 2 pieces and also fill a lot of gaps with modelling clay. His wife did a great job at balancing the colors with water paints. This is quite a rare find, particularly at this size. ovale zone Wedelsandstein Formation Early Bajocian From the Wutach Valley -

20cm. Wedelsandstein Formation Early Bajocian ovale zone Found in Wutachtal -
I've been working on another commission assignment this past week which is pretty interesting, so I figured I'd show the progression here. It's been a somewhat time consuming project, having already spent 16 hours at it. The pen work and abrading is done now, but there's still some repair work to do with epoxy putty which I'll probably get down to tomorrow. This is what I got to begin with. As you can see, the customer had already trimmed off a lot of matrix and had also glued a couple of pieces back on which had broken off during extraction with the exception of

I think I probably mentioned previously that I sometimes do some commission work for someone in England who gives me raw material, mostly from Dorset, in exchange for the work. I just finished prepping this beauty and thought I'd show it off here Fissilobiceras fissilobatum (15cm. in diameter) from the laeviuscula zone, early Bajocian with a few appendages: At the mouth aperture, the inside view of the shell of a small ammonite, and on the right at the top, a small ammo which I've yet to identify, below it what appears to be a bit of the mouth aperture of another ammonite and below that again
