Lorney Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Went fishing this spring and picked up a few pieces along the river. They are from the Bearpaw formation in Alberta. Finally got around to cleaning them up a bit. After finding these I think I spent more time watching for fossils than fishing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorney Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 Thanks for the comments. I also found this piece of an ammonite I think. It was laying in the river near shore. It must have broke into a bunch of pieces when it tumbled down. It must have been from a pretty big one because this looks like just a small piece of it. Unless it is from something else. I thought ammonites had a rounded outer edge but this edge seems to have a flattened ridge on it. It looks fragile so I don’t know what else to do with it to clean it up. I have cleaned and polished some other small pieces but they had a thin layer that was bonded solidly to the sediment layer. This one has many thin layers that are brittle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
