Bringing Fossils to Life Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Some kind of ammonite. Link to post Share on other sites
minnbuckeye Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 It would help to have information and history provided by you. Where was it found. What geologic period is the area known for. Any other fossils found at the site? What size is it? I suspect an ammonite in a concretion but I am unfamiliar with fossils from the UK. Mike 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Ludwigia Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 It's definitely a water-worn ammonite. No question about that. But if you want to learn more about it you'll need to follow up on the above requests for more info. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

minnbuckeye Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 @caterpillar, is the specimen in a concretion or is it so worn that it is smooth? Link to post Share on other sites
caterpillar Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Yes, it's very worn. Just the middle is matrix. If you remove it, you will have the umbilicus of the ammonite underneath 1 Link to post Share on other sites
