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

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.

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.
