I can't identify this ammonite from Germany, maybe it's Pleuroceras? Please help me! Thx

Hi all! We found this fossil a few days ago on a trip to Charmouth, UK. I’m brand new to fossil prep and I thought I give this a go. However this one confuses me a little because I’m not sure what is the best approach. Should I try to clean it up on the agatized side or the other side? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! TIA 72800635334__1DF8B1D0-465D-4CCE-821F-00D60C850061.MOV

Whether true ammonite or not
shreyam posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi. I'm a new member. I love to collect different types of river stones but never found a true fossil. Recently I bought two supposedly ammonite fossils from a small shop at Manali, Himachal pradesh, India. Can anyone please help me identify whether they are true or fabricated?

Hi all from rural Worcestershire in the UK. Been collecting around 20 years but have now really got the bug!! Recently started prepping and getting lost in the shed for hours and hours. Looking forward to contributing in the future and conversing with like minded souls. Kind regards Craig

This is a newly purchased ammonite, but I don't have any information, so I'm asking a question. The seller said it came from the Paja Formation.

I recently got these antique lithographs that were made in about 1910, that are from a rare set of trading cards about dinosaurs, prehistoric and strange animals by Heinrich Harder. On the back is information about the animal by naturalist William Bölsche. (I don’t speak German so I have no clue what they say) I absolutely love the artwork and plan to get a couple more. I thought you all would find them interesting as well!

I found this ammonite, nothing I’ve ever found before. Notice the raised ribs every 3-4 ribs. What do you think? Tarrant county, near a Kiamichi/Fort Worth/Paw paw formation border but it could be Goodland. Lots of small Hemiaster echinoids and smaller Oxytropidoceras ammonites. This one looks Mortoniceras to me!

Russian Audoliceras resto?
Mochaccino posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, How much of this Russian ammonite seems natural and original? Any compositing or restoration (aside from the obviously poorly-restored inner whorl section)? To me it looks good aside from the inner whorl, but sometimes they restore these super well so it can be hard to tell. @Kanopus

The other day I found this strange looking rock on the beach at Port Mulgrave- a well known fossil hunting site near Whitby. I'd be interested to know if anyone has any ideas as to what it might be before I go ahead and hammer it out...it looks like a typical nodule from the area with several distinct lumps. I hypothesise a group of Ammonites but this is only a guess. Any help would be much appreciated!

one of my favorites in the collection. I dont know where it comes, but it's beautiful to show and display. I bought this piece at the beginning of the year when my love for fossils was leading me into collecting. It was one of the pieces that encouraged me to continue in this beautiful hobby, which I hope to dedicate myself to someday. These Ammonites means lot to me. I wish you all a New Year full of fossils and prosperity! Álvaro

I recently acquired this ammonite that is from near Tupelo, Mississippi. Looking for any species identification or other information regarding this specimen. Thank you!

I found this Duck Creek Eopachydiscus ammonite back in March or April, east of Benbrook Lake in Tarrant county Tejas. . I forgot it was under my sink..lol! Any idea whether this missing chunk can be attributed to a bite mark or is it more likely from something else that crushed it? I’ve tried to provide various photos to see indentations that might give clues. If it’s nothing special, it’s going to become plastered into part of someone’s home entry display, otherwise I’ll keep it. 😆

Hi everyone! Archaeologist here, looking for help with an Ammonite ID 😄 My dad and I found these two Ammonites near Sherborne in Dorset, UK. If anyone is able to tell me the species/age, I would be so grateful!

Hi all! Here's a short trip report to show the diversity of fossil hunting conditions in the Jurassic. We have very few places with large inflated mid-Oxfordian ammonites, most of them are shown below. The red mark is on the site I discuss. It's on the Volga too, but much less accessible and productive than others. The site is situated some 10km to the east of Kineshma, a not-so-rich middle-sized town. I visited it in various seasons but couldn't catch a suitable water level. The shore is either under snow or the water is already high and remains high throughout the year.

Dear All, Another ID request for you, though only of part of a fossil. I recently acquired a Macrocephalites madagascariensis, originally found in Anwil, Switzerland. It has some sort of internal structure in the shell (see attached photos), but I'm not entirely sure what it is and searching for ammonite anatomy on the internet hasn't given me the answers I've been looking for either. Would any of you happen to know what it is? Many thanks in advance! Nick

Hello everyone - I am getting into fossil collecting and recently had a trip to Charmouth, UK. I would like to try to ID some of the pyrite ammonite species I found there. I've written what I thought they might be based on information and photos I have found online but I am very much a beginner so I would like some help checking them. I've also included another pyrite fossil which I'm not sure what it is at the end. 35mm long paperclip for scale. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! 1: Both Promicroceras? 2: Not sure - maybe Echioceras? 3: Oxynoticeras? 4: Another Echioceras? 5: No idea - looks like a fragment of something conical with horizontal bands around it which can be sort of seen in the first image - mostly encased in pyrite.

I have 3-4 spots (duck creek, Grayson, Fort Worth formations) I haven’t yet revisited since it rained that are really close to my house. I’ve been to the same conlinoceras spot 3x and this was my last visit until we get heavy rain/erosion again. It didn’t disappoint! Funny how I can walk by the same spot 3x and find things I missed. Haha! I’ve seen ammonites missing chambers before, but this little one seems to have indentations that might have been there originally, like from bite marks or something. What do you think? Just my child-like imagination? the nice looking white calcite specimen missing part of itself is from another larger creek that my primary spot feeds into more upstream. Tarrant County TX.
