RJB Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I was eating dinner and my son came in and asked me I he could leave that big ammonite here in my garage. "sure son". Then this morning I walked into the garage and there it was sittin on my extra chair. I had forgotten just how big this thing was!! He took off all the rock on both sides too. That had to be quite the job and making it about 150 lbs lighter? Its missing a big part of the fragmacone but he tells me that he will composite another piece onto it someday. This kid is gunna have one H-E-Double Toothpicks of a collection!!! This thing is 26 inches across!!! RB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it may look at home in my extra chair, but im gunna hafta tell he to move it into the other garage. I need my other chair for company. 4 minutes ago, LiamL said: This guy must have been the king of the ammonites. No, he is not the king, I have a friend that puts us both to shame with it comes to the ammonite collection. And we both have some purty good ammonites. But he's got one heck of good start.

There are larger ammonites in existence... this one may be a prince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
