NicolaT Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Good morning, can anyone help me with ID this fossil and tell me if it's authentic or maybe fake, please? Best regards from Italy, Nicola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Real ammonite probably from Madagascar. You can tell these since the mouthpiece has been cut with a saw.

Bguild Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) That's a real one. Definitely an ammonite from Madagascar. Edited July 17, 2016 by Bguild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBrewer Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 A pretty ammonite. They're common though so not worth faking. Aren't they beautifully tactile? I've a couple of them. And welcome to the forum, looking forward to seeing your next find/acquisition John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
