fifbrindacier Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Hi Svetlana, it's amazing how many ammonites you can find in this quarry. You also had a nice Nautilus ! And a sunny day. 1 "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry) "We only well see with the heart, the essential is invisible for the eyes."

This is the impression of the video and photos that were collected over several trips, but in reality it is very difficult to find a slab with ammonites; most of them are empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Lovely photos of modern and ancient life. Some super finds, I love the nautiloid in particular, Thanks for sharing, 1 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the trip report. Great finds - I like all including the crystals (magnetite?). Why is that one ammonite green... is it covered in algae or is there a green mineral coating/replacement? Is there a lot of pyrite replacement/filling at this site generally? It looks like you would have to do a lot of gluing to come home with anything intact (or do the gluing at home), is that the case?

I don't see the green color on the ammonite. Sometimes, if there was a crack near the ammonite and water got inside the cast, there may be moss, etc. In this place there are ammonites of various substitutions, but these samples are the cores of ammonites from marl. Sometimes they are covered with a crust of pyrite, which is easily washed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the observation is interesting: sometimes large ammonites are on top of this color. Only large ones - small ones did not come across. I don't know the reason for this color. The substitution is the same - these are all ammonite nuclei replaced by marl. Perhaps you are right, and water got into the cracks, thanks to which algae developed there.

Wrangellian Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 OK. It looks green on my monitor. Inaccurate color reproduction happens sometimes, I'm not sure why. If it's not green I think we can rule out algae on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
