I Think I Found My First Fossilized Bone!?

[seagyfree]

Hello fossil friends! Went out to hunt today and found a couple of neat items but this is my most exciting! I hope my heart doesnt get broken on this one. Found this in the San Gabriel in the very middle of the riverbed, summerged. Somewhat poking out from beneath algae, I noticed the ribbed look to it. Any thoughts?

Not bone. Ammonite?

Definitely an Ammo. What type may be a bit hard to ID.

The rest of it may be still there, where you found this piece. Might be worth a look.

Yep, ammonite. Still a nice find.

Absolutely this is an ammonite. Likely Mortoniceras sp.

Cool fossil!
