Jultx Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Could someone give me some information on these please? We going a lot of rock, fossils about 3 feet deep in our back yard. I think one is an ammonite. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntonia Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 2nd is definitely an ammonite, @Ludwigia @Manticocerasman can probably get you a species. I'm inclined to say number one is just a rock. Congrats on the ammonite, cool find! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Yes it's definitely an ammonite. Can't say much more about it though, since I don't know my cretaceous ones all that well. Maybe @Uncle Siphuncle could help out. It would also help if you could post a photo from the side. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

DPS Ammonite Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Welcome to the Forum. It will be easier to ID if we know where it was found and what formation it was from. Use this electronic geological map of Texas to find the formation that it was from. Let us know what you find out. https://txpub.usgs.gov/txgeology/ My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

caldigger Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 @PFOOLEY might have some ideas also since New Mexico isn't too far from Texas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
