Tseytlin Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 So guys its very randomly im not collector or something like this - I buy through auction houses , and I buy a fossil last day because its was on low price and no one wanted to buy it. I tried to search any information to how recognize if its fake or real and value there is no information about it , so I will be happy to get more information about it. I buy it inexpensively. I know its above 100g didn't weight it still because it's shipping to me right now and he got lot of minerals crystal and the things that grow on it with the years There is the pictures , sorry for bad english 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntonia Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Looks like a genuine sliced and polished ammonite, probably from Madagascar. I'm not good with the ID on these, perhaps someone else can give you a genus name. Nice purchase, and welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjfriend Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Real cut and polished ammonite. Nice piece. And sorry but the forum rules prohibit giving price values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Real ammonite. Cleoniceras besairei from Ambarrimaninga Formation of Madagascar. They have also been called Aioloceras Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

Abyss Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Beautiful ammonite. Yes it's real, this type is very common there's no need to fake them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reconquistador Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 It can be Cleoniceras, or Aioloceras as stated above. This might be hard to tell, as polishing has badly damaged sculpture. I have found there is some disagreement among paleontologists, whether these 2 genera are synonyms or not. Important to know is, that there is not only question, whether it is one of these 2 genera. It could also be Beudanticeras and I personall thinky it is more likely Beudanticeras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
