Kikokuryu Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Hello, I just recently made an account. I'm in the process of collecting more rare fossils, but while I was cleaning out some space, I came across some old fossils from when I was a small child. These are fossils were purchased in Japan at a Shinto Shrine during New Years about 10+ years ago when I was small, it's a bit fuzzy in my memory so I assume quite a while ago. Unfortunately, the locale and ID of the fossils were all lost (because a kid just throws away the paper immediately . . . right?) except the Spinosaurus. I mostly wanted to know about the two Ammonite fossils, the sharks I just assume are nothing special and Spinosaurus is . . . well just your every day common Spinosaurus. The white one has some kind of green junk on it, which I assume is some kind of plastic that melted onto it. I don't expect anything spectacular from them, but I just wanted at least some ID on them. The ruler is in centimeters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Welcome to the Forum. Your black ammonite looks like a Prolyelliceras sp. from the Lower Cretaceous of Peru. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Wrangellian Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 That was my thinking too. The lighter one appears to be a Perisphinctes or similar, possibly from France (Jurassic), but don't quote me - wait for others to chime in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, although the "Perisphinctes" could originate from any number of countries. I would go with Perisphinctidae family for that one and leave it at that. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Wrangellian Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 It looks similar in size and preservation to ones I have from France but maybe you're aware of other places with this type/size/preservation that I am not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
