KingSepron Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I bought these Ammonites in Lyme Regis after not finding too much while there (mostly due to the cold driving us in early) This is the last of the things I’ve bought/had bought for me, and therefore have little info on.

Bobby Rico Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 The top looks like a Brasilia? Please can we get some in focus photos of the side and top too , that would really be of help.

Tidgy's Dad Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 These are not from Lyme Regis itself, but the shops there often sell other fossils from the local area so I reckon these are from Dorset and though rather worn, I think I can see sickle shaped ribbing and certainly a keel, so i'll go for Harpoceras falciferum one of the more commonly found and sold ammonites in the area 3 Life's Good!

Ludwigia Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Tidgy's Dad could very well be correct with Harpoceras. They look like material from Normandy. As far as I know, most of this species found on the Jurassic Coast has a different type of preservation. 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

I have Harpoceras Falciferum Ilminster Somerset ,Uk and it is not to far from Dorset . The specimen is pretty good here it is for comparison. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
