Fossildude19 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 That's pretty cool looking! Do you know the genus? Placenticeras ? Sphenodiscus ?

snakebite6769 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Cool find! A European ammonite is on my bucket list. Anxious to see what type you found! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 The research is the fun part i think, however I'm really new and the more complicated identification process. Finding the is the easy part in my area of montana in between 5 and 200 miles all around me are fossils... I'll keep up the research to figure out what it is exactly. Any leads In the right direction are welcome to! Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtrocknut44 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Curtis, What a nice find! And it's great to see someone found one so close to our town. I have been out to Stratford hill and didn't do so well. I have made some great finds just a ways east of there though. If you want to get together to swap areas/hunt for fossils, I am looking for a rockhound/fossil buddy. I found a large (8 inch) portion of a nautiloid and lots of clams last fall. I need to get the photographed and shared on the site. I can't wait for it to be dry and warm enough to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
