Terry Dactyll Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 grampa dino....excellent colours.... Its nice to see the base nodes as well for some form of protective spines that this species had.... They must of been easy prey food for most predators... I'll tell you what I find intresting, if they were anatomically similar to todays modern nautilus, (as a general comparison) ive seen some pretty narrow species of ammonite shell, that would be a seriously tight fit to live in...

Thanks: I have heard those protective spines could be more like very stiff hair or barbs protruding some distance from the shell. That would make him a little harder to serve for supper. I to have read or heard that they are related to the modern nautilus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwn Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I bought this at a club auction a few years ago. Ammonite and imprint of same. From the personal collection of a former fossil curator at the Houston Museum of Natural History. It is put away at the moment, so I don't know the relevant info on it. Wow , look at the gold color it made. That is a very impressive fossil! Looking for Oregon transparent Aturia angustata now. PM me if you got any for sale. I'm looking for other COILED nautiloids too! Anyone have any nautiloid before jurassic period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ems Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Wow , look at the gold color it made. That is a very impressive fossil! this specimen comes from the lower jurassic (Lias delta) clays of Unterstürmig / Buttenheim in Bavaria (Germany). The golden colour derives from a treatment with a brass-brush. My attached picture shows some different kinds of conservation of ammonites (Pleuroceras sp. / Amaltheus sp.) from this site. The white type of conservation (the ammonite in the middle) is most common, also for most completely pyritized ammonites. I personally like this natural (white) state the most, because it makes a good contrast to the dark clays (second picture). Some finds even show parts of the original colour pattern (see last picture). my buttenheim / unterstürmig collection specimen with partly conserved original colour pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
