Pes142 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) I was cleaning my attic and happened upon a bag of fossils I once got as payment for shoveling a neighbors driveway. Any ideas as to what I got? I'll post multiple pictures of each, thanks for the help. And fair warning, they were given to me I have no idea what age or site they come from. I'll post the trilobite first. Edited December 18, 2016 by Pes142 To add more pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNCollector Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 This is a trilobite from Morocco. The species is Flexicalymene ouzregui. It is nice to find fossils that you have forgotten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pes142 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) Also anAmmonite plate, I don't know if this is real, but it looks like it was glued back together at some point. And what I think are ammonites in matrix. Edited December 18, 2016 by Pes142 Adding more pics lower down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdpaulhus Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I believe the last ammonite is a Dactylioceras commune from Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are Jurassic in age about 172 million years if my memory serves me. I would shovel lots of driveways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been found in Öhmden, Holzmaden, Balingen, etc., etc. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 That trilobite in the first photo looks like it has been repaired. It looks real, but it might be a composite of two trilobite halves. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should not remove the original pictures, as that makes the comments made about them senseless, and the thread lost its validity. 2 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

abyssunder Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Yep, there are several ammonites (probably different species) embedded in the matrix.
