Southern Morocco according to the tags, looks similar to Acanthoceras, you got two on one rock there, and they are big! Nice find. What became of the other big one?

From this yellow strata yes it size 31 cm kind of big but i know nothing about the name and age and price how much it costs... and maybe is kem kem beds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acanthoceras_(ammonite) this has age and name, don't know which species. We are not allowed to do appraisals on the forum, but they are pretty big. Maybe someone like @LordTrilobite can tell the stratigraphy. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess is a Aegastoceras sagittarium because is not that fat like Acanthoceras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it doesn't really look like it, (although it does match the color and description of the Aoufous formation) it's just that I don't believe there are many Triassic rocks in morroco. Here's a map of the southern part (Western Sahara). I may be wrong, so I will defer to those who know more than myself. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol And im not a geologist im just a biginner in hunting fossils and im here to learn from you guys thanks for your helps all men King regards Salomon Don't know what that is, I would guess a bivalve of some sort. Here's a map from your area, it says Mesozoic which isn't very helpful, maybe another member can produce a better one. I'm just happy to be able to help! I'm a beginner as well. I still think the Ammo is acanthroceras sp. although it may have been compressed. I hope others can confirm, Good Luck fossil hunting! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
