Fossildude19 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 From these pictures, it looks real to me. Maybe a Perisphinctes sp. ? Pictures are quite blurry. Hard to make any reasonable determination from blurry pictures. Try taking them in natural light, and back away from the fossil a bit more. take from directly above the fossil, both sides please. Did you get any information with it? 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

ClearLake Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 If it feels heavy-ish for its size it is probably real. Looks like the Jurassic ammonites from Madagascar that you see in a lot of rock shops. Maybe has a bit more shine on it than many, but they like to do that sometimes.

caterpillar Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 As already said, Perisphinctidae from the Callovian/Oxfordian of Madagascar, a little polished 1 1 http://www.paleotheque.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth_ Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 From what I can see on the blurry pics, the pattern looks very similar to a couple of ammonites I sold a few months back. If yours looks similar to mine, odds are really good it's real. For what it's worth - I paid a trade price for mine.... no way is it worth faking one for the money I paid for a real one!
