Crann Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Found this on the Yorkshire coast, is that a perfectly positioned bivalve or you think it could be the living chamber ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyritizeMe Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I definitely think this is a ammonite , the bottom whirls then the top opening , the whole thing is in the rock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was living chamber it would be a strange find for sure, I was thinking bivalve but hoping not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyritizeMe Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Hit the rock and break it open , if its an ammonite it should break around the fossil I am hoping , otherwise in order to tell you will have to get it prepped. the top does look similar to a bivalve but the bottom is definitely a ammonite , which would make sense for the top to be the opening/living chamber . It has the sutures and design of a earlier ammonite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, it is an older Ammonite from the earlier beds, the concretion is soft not the usual that you can split, will get my pen on it tomorrow and solve the mystery...

Ludwigia Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I agree that the bottom one is an ammonite but the top one could also be a whorl section of an oxycone ammonite.
