LiamL Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 So i had to order a new Splitting Chisel after losing mine on Runswick bay in Yorkshire. Anyway I tried opening this Ammonite that i found in Mappleton with a hammer, but it was very tough. I finally opened it today. First picture is how i found it showing the tough matrix.

Ludwigia Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Nice little Dacty. Pity that part of the middle whorls broke away on the wrong side, but that's just the luck of the split. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Macrophyseter Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Lovely pyrite ammonite! My opinion, the actual ammonite looks like a nice piece, but the impression on the matrix, looks really cool as well, like if its an extremely rare fossil. What if ammonites could come in gold instead of fools gold? If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!
