I’ve been air scribing this piece out and I figured it was a Mooreoceras. However, the ridge going up the front is something I haven’t seen on this species. Is it just squashed a bit? It’s a pointed oval in shape. The length is nearly 3 inches.

Hi, I made a find today on a local walk, and I could do with some help identifying it. It was found in a forrest overlooking the Ardeche Gorge in France. The local area (and the gorge itself) is primarily limestone. I think it is a fossil of some sort of snail, but honestly I have no idea. Can anyone help?

How do you clean limestone stones containing nice fossils?
ntloux posted a topic in Fossil Preparation
I have a nice piece of limestone shale with some gomphoceras fossils on it. It was apparently on the surface and there are portions with unsightly white deposits that are presumably due to abrasion. I have read that some soak a specimen in 5% acetic acid overnight; however, I am concerned about damaging the nearby fossils. I have tried to use an artist's paint brush with white vinegar containing 5% acetic acid and even with scrubbing with a toothbrush, the white abraded portions remain. Should I try soaking the entire specimen over night? Any suggestions/recommendations would be appreciated. -

Hi hope this is the right place in the forum to ask this, I have a limestone quarry that I hunt in using a sifting table. And it’s that type of sand that when wet just clogs up the table every use, do anyone have any tips to get past this? I’m usually only able to hunt in the summer when the sand is dry but I just can’t wait 😅 below is the sifting table I use, inspired by someone in the forum.

This piece of limestone stone was found on top of a 8 inch thick slab of limestone on top of the Cretaceous Ferron Sandstone Member of the Mancos Shale located in Mounds Reef, Utah 5.5 miles east of Wellington, Utah just south of Highway 6. There was quite a bit of this on top of the slab. Perhaps 10 inches wide and 20 inches long. I only picked up this sample and it split off the base matrix by sliding a pocket knife blade under it. This pic shows the Ferron sandstone which it would have been on top of before it weathered out and fell a few yards downhill just to the left of this pic. No much thought went into it. I failed to even take any pics of it in situ. It looked "squiggly & fossil-ish " like burrows or tunnels so I grabbed a piece. It may end up in the cactus bed rock garden out front. Any thoughts, comments or confirmation of my ideas? Steve
