saracakes3889 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 My father just found this today in North Texas at his job site, is this also an ammonite? It's pretty big. It was dug up 9ft under ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves64 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Looks like an ammonite, yes. Or at least a steinkern of one. 1 Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagurus Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Very cool! All I ever found were pencils and crayons at most of my job sites. Start the day with a smile and get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facehugger Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Wow! That's a really nice one! Great find. Not an expert, but some prep work on that will reveal some more of the fossil... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Nice ammonite! Your Dad is a lucky guy to be finding such nice fossils at work. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
