IonRocks Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Can someone tell me about the crushing that is seen in the walls of this ammonites chambers? Its odd to me that in the areas where the entire wall is gone, the geode/vug areas still occur as you would expect them to with chambers? I picked this up for $10 after noticing the crushing, because I don't have any like that in my collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDudeCO Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I believe the infill of sand that fills these cavities and lithifies is what causes the crushing of the walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
