cheney416 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I saw this Madagascar ammonite on website and wonder hole(?) On its surface could be a bite mark. Actually, i've never seen bite mark like this but i looking forward to any new information about it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptychodus04 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 It looks more like collecting damage to me. If it was a bite, the matrix would have filled the hole in. Also, whatever caused the hole appears to have pealed shell and matrix away from the "bottom" of it neaest to the umbilicus. 7 Regards, Kris Global Paleo Services, LLC https://globalpaleoservices.com http://instagram.com/globalpaleoservices http://instagram.com/kris.howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think there would be at least a few other less forceful marks by other teeth as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
