Hi, found this a few weeks back, was going to prep it out but looked like was an easy split, little tap and it opened up, wanted to share, thanks.

That's cool!

Thanks for posting it.

Supercool find. Charmouth area? Nice to have it split like that. Sadly mine didn't and was so flakey I Paraloided it. Over Paraloided it.....

 

It's now been sent out to one of the top prep guys here. Mines from Charmouth.

Hi, was a Yorkshire coast find, any photo's of yours ? Was like an early Christmas present when I opened it up.

Nice pressie! I've only found ammonites at Yorkshire (coast) and have only been there 3 times. Hope to go to Whitby for Goth Weekend (married in Whitby the week before). Found my paddle at Charmouth as I go to Devon (parents) at least twice a year. Winter is good  Can wait for mine to be prepped, I did as much as I could but It's way past my new skill level. Pics of mine in the link above.

What's a clearly sane guy like yourself doing on/in a Goth weekend?

Whitby comes alive at Goth weekend, it's brilliant! 

 

Lovely paddle.

"Goth" in the anthropological or the cultural/musical sense?

Nice find! I'm just wondereing, though, if you shouldn't get it glue it back together and get the top and bottom prepped out?

Cool fossil!  I like Ludwigia's idea too.

Hi, it looks like most is in one side, a slither perhaps on the other, not sure how would turn out, I tried the ST pen on a small section, hardly touched it, cheers.

It certainly does! We Married the Wednesday before Goth weekend at Registry office. Grabbed witnesses of the crazy golf course 15 minutes before the ceremony. No really! Went up to the Abbey and took selfies and got a tourist to take this one. Then sent pics to parents and other family. Yeah, we don't do normal

Then Goth weekend dressing up. Kate is second from left, I'm far right. My walking cane has a genuine hip replacement joint on the end given to me by a retired surgeon. Much to Kate's disgust I did get a couple of hours in with the hammer. Only a few dactylioceras bits tho.

Ha, class.
