LiamL Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I just got all these fossils in bulk and was wondering if these IDs are correct. Sorry for the long post. The IDs came mixed up so please correct me if you see any that are wrong. All collected in Yorkshire. Hildoceras Bifrons with shell structure showing? Hildoceras Bifrons on a small nodule Hildoceras Bifrons with some pyrite. Arnioceras Block Catacoeloceras Grammoceras Large Repaired Pseudoloceras Pos and Neg X2 Eleganticeras Androgynoceras Boneblock with Ichthyosaur ribs and verts on the side. 3 Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Nice lot of ammonites! I can't notice any obvious mistakes, except it should be Androgynoceras, of course, but i expect you just made a typing error. Good Yorkshire ammonite collection. 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

LiamL Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 Also, I have a few different other fossils like this. Are these calcite veins or modern fish poop? Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 @GeschWhat @Carl Not sure... Looks more like mineralization to me, but I've flagged our poopy experts to weigh in. 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeschWhat Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Doesn't look like fish poop to me. In your photo, the veins almost look like bivalve shell sections. 2 Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I'm with Lori 100%: those are clams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopping on the shell train. Seriously doubt you are going to find modern fish funkys in rock with the ammonites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I'll go along with bivalve cross sections as well. Your ammo ids seem to be correct. I'm just not quite certain about the Pseudolioceras, since the matrix is still covering some of it. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Tidgy's Dad Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Yes, bivalve cross-sections, not uncommon in some of those Yorkshire Jurassic beds. Plagiostoma was one I used to find a lot if i recall. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
