Cold day in the desert but a ton of fun with some great finds! Thank you @PFOOLEY for the wisdom. 

 

These all were found in the Carlile formation in Sandoval County, New Mexico.

Ooooh, that makes me homesick for the Puerco and the Carlile Shale. Nice finds there, especially the last ammonite which appears to be Scaphites.  Congratulations and thanks for sharing them.

Alright!...nice work, Chris. I do :wub: Spathites nodules...one of my favorite species to find. 

@Jeffrey P has been to that very same gully. I am very happy you scored some nice fossils.

Yes, Spathites! Sorry. I shouldn't try to read labels in the dark.
