Terry Dactyll Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 MB & Alopias..... Stunning fossils... I will phtograph a couple more tomorrow but I just posted this on another (fossil face) thread and I thought I would post it here, as they are Pyritic... Dactylioceras gracile....nature can lay things out in some bizzare ways, and Ive never been able to beat this.... just how they landed on the sea bed 180 million years ago... all i did was prep them out and look in amazement at the arrangement.... my friend super imposed the hat on.... a little early but its nearly christmas....

Plantguy Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Unbeleivable specimens everyone! Very nice! I only have a few pyritized ones...both purchased and from Germany. If the ID's dont look right please advise. Having just posted the photos next to one another they look very similar to me! thanks, Chris Dactylioceras commune Holzmaden Lytoceras sp? near Stuttgart Germany Posidonia Shale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dactyll Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Chris.... the first ID is correct, although it also looks a little bit like an D.athleticum... but being crushed its difficult to say, but very nice fossils.... The second one, the ID is wrong I would say More like Dactylioceras crassum (which encompasses a few types) or maybe Catacoeloceras crassum... Proprtionally its very different to the other plate, as you can see.... Heres a link to the Scarborough & Whitby online type fossil list, have a look and see what you think.... http://www.whitbymuseum.org.uk/d18/ftlist.htm Really nice to see your pyrites.... well done everyone.... *\0/* Cheers Steve...

D.crasum works for me. Should have doubled checked the ID years ago. I've only actually found one ammonite in all my collecting days...a little Phylloceras from the Cretaceous Great Valley Sequence in Calif. I'd have heart failure to find/prep the things you guys are working with---maybe its a good thing I havent. Thanks again for sharing all the photos! Great stuff!

Placoderms Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Another Ammonite from Arkona, ON (about .25 inches in diameter). For you who are heading there tomorrow I found many of these (most are much, much smaller)at the high banks in shale about belt buckle level. You can expose the smaller ones pretty easy by bringing a tooth brush along and running it over some of the shale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placoderms Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Here is a pick of the smaller one. I have a few to spare so let me know if anyone wants to trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dactyll Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Chris.... No problem.... and a phylloceras is a good ammonite to find... I like those very much... Placoderms... wow that bottom one is tiny, did you use magnification to spot that, its got to be the smallest ammonite Ive ever seen (or the biggest coin) lol Cheers Steve...

Placoderms Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Terry Dactyll, amazingly I was able to spot it w/o magnification, last night I pulled a few out that were smaller. I'll post pics later. RJB, those Ammonites from Tuscon are amazing! I plan to hit Tuscon next year and will keep an eye out for these. Thanks for sharing!

Terry Dactyll Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Placoderms..... Very nice.... I need magnification to see them, and Im sure theres different species...If you follow the link to yorkshire Coast Fossils below RJB's fossils, you will get access to the man who finds and preps them direct in yorkshire england.... i would be tempted to get intouch direct and save a lot of money im sure.... compared to tuscon prices.... ;-) Cheers Steve...
