MarandaP Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Hello, I'd love some identification help on this lil ammonite fossil I purchased at the Tucson Gem Show. The dealers were Russian and all the info I could get was that the ammonites were Russian as well It is a bit pyritized. I bought 2, I used the larger one to make a mold and cast. The original did not survive the process so I have included pics of the cast (the one with the loop added, lol), I think it's easier to see details on that as well. Additionally, if you have any rec's for online or in print resources for ammonite ID they would be much appreciated. I found myself googling around in circles trying to find info to ID this myself. Thanks in advance, Maranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
