RJB Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I had forgetten about this until today while going through one of my sheds. My youngest son actually found this, along with a couple more, but this is truly amazing! Just ammos stickin out all over the place!!! Top, bottom and sides just chokoblock full of ammos!! YeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! Actually they are hetoromorphs called Scaphites whitfieldi and were found in South Dakota 2 years ago and are cretaceaus in age. Once I get this prepped out its gunna make for one heck of a display piece!!! Wow!!! RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Ammonites, Trilobites, fish, leaves......if this is what is thrown to the back of your shed I would love to see what you have sitting toward the front. Hurry with the prep on that ammonite block please. Brian Brian Evans For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.

Crinoid Queen Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Fox Hills material? Totally Awsome find!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Count of Cabezon Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Very cool. Ammonites are probably my favorite, mainly because it was the first fossil I found, and to have that many in one rock is amazing. Great find! Can't wait to see how it preps out.

RJB Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thanks everyone. Its going to be a real challenge to prep it out because thye are soooo delicate and fall apart very easily, so there will be lots of 'stop and glue' to save as much shell material as possible. Probably going to be one of those projects where you do a little and put it away for awhile and come back to it many many times. Auspex, not the Fox Hills, but to tell you the truth, I dont remember which formation? I do rmember that it was the Pool Creek Memeber of something or ruther along part of the Cheyene River. (no idea how to spell that one?) RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
