FossilFrenzy Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hey fossil friends! I purchased these fossils a couple years ago from a local gem shop. Unfortunately, all I know about them is that they were labeled "Himalayan fossils" and are quite heavy. One appears to be an impression of an ammonite but I'm not sure what the other is, or if they are genuine. Any help appreciated, thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 They look like genuine ammonite impressions in concretions. If I remember rightly, ammonites can be found in concretions in the Himalayas. 6 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Tidgy's Dad Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I'm not thinking two is anything. Four is a maybe. But one and three look like ammonites. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Tidgy has just suggested they are yeti droppings. Fair point, i think for 2 and 4! Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have noted in my post- 2 and 4 are the backside of the corresponding 1 and 3! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Ammonite nodules then. Not yeti concretions. Sadly. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
