Scottnokes2015 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Hello all. I have these two ammonite halves in my and they are two different specimens, Can anyone confirm the are authentic. The one with blue background looks normal but the other looks odd and I'm concerned they are fake. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.C. Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Look authentic to me! I have seen lots of colorations on ammonites. If it has a “glassy” look on the polished side I would be confident that they are real. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 They look like Moroccan Desmoceras latidoratum (might be messed up on the spelling) to me. These are commonly sold in rock shops. Both specimens look authentic to me. Don 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
