I am always happy to find any fossil, but finding some colorful ones is always a special treat. I don't live in Canada with amazing Ammolite Ammonites, but I have collected some pretty cool colorful things myself. What are your most colorful fossils? Show me!

Nice idea for a thread and the Ram’s would make a great display piece .

Although not my most colorful, these two close-up views of a common Exogyra costata display a pleasing palette.
