Ammonite fossil or burrow ?

[Creek - Don]

I found this Ammonite few weeks ago.  Looks like a burrow.  If that is a burrow than I don't see want to waste my time and effort removing from surrounding rock. Too much work for trace fossil.

 

Thanks

Unfortunately, I am still too much of a novice to tell if this is a burrow or not. 

 

If its too much time for you to dig it up, let me know where this beauty is! I'll take it even if it is a burrow

Sure, I will give you a Google map snap shot.  Do you want me to attach it here?

Looks like an impression...

Not a burrow, that looks to be an ammonite impression.

Thanks.  I will not dig this out then.

*rubs hands together* now to see if I can slip away from adulting long enough to get there... Thank you Creek Don!

You welcome!  When I meant stiff cliff, this is what I'm talking about.

Good golly. You were not kidding. Thanks for the heads up. I'll try to prep for that.

Posting aerial images of less known locations on the public forums is not advisable.  This is info that is better shared via PM.  There are many reasons for this, but among them is the unsustainable increase in hunting pressure.  Thus, sites are less enjoyable or productive for those that already have discovered the area.  As a courtesy to those collectors or researchers, it's best to share the info privately.

My sites, my precious, yessssss...

 

He's right, though. Tomorrow you would have found the site completely torn up, with a crowd of 20+ people, all chipping away at the formation, destroying the environment and most of the fossils, too...
