Ammonite and Edmont skin

Hey guys, my mom is finally starting to collect fossils with me! She picked these for her first purchases and wants to know if they are real before buying. Ammonite and edmontosaurus skin. Please advise!

Going to need additional photos on your hadrosaur skin impression.  Not seeing much with the photo you provided.  Typically Edmontosaurus skin looks like the one in the photos below.  It's honeycomb shape.

Ammo looks like a typical Moroccan job with the center carved out to continue the whirls to the middle. This seems to be a common practice to better the appearance and thus make them more sellable to buyers.

You will note the width of the whirls is not consistently narrowing down evenly. Not likely in nature.

Real, just artistically enhanced.

The only evidence of a possible impression is what I have circled.  Might be an outside piece from a larger section.  Cannot compulsively say one way or another.

Ammonite looks like a Texas Mortoniceras, and I have the same comment as the other post and @caldigger the inner bit is carved, poor prep
