Lone Hunter Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Another rediscovery with my loop, I would swear I'm looking at innards but I know better. Not the usual broken shells I'm used to seeing, not the usual replacement, first time I've seen red on a fossil. What's going on in here? Oh and last pic, are those tiny gastropods? Smaller be than a pin head that's best shot I could get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas.Dodson Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 The red appears to be mineral replacement of the inner shell or interior, probably something with iron. The fact that it appears on both the gastropods and the ammonite(s) is a good indication of this. While I suspect the last pic is something I suspect greater magnification will be needed to tell what. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
