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, I wanted to get some opinions on this heteromorphic ammonite. It is said to be a Colchidites breistrofferi (61 mm) from the Uppermost Barremian of Paja Fm. in Santander, Colombia. Seller claims no reconstruction/restoration, but it looks quite rough to me. Does it seem legitimate? Is this typically how rough these are, or is this one just badly preserved/prepped? And does the ammonite look complete including living chamber? Thanks!

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. 😆

I created my first fridge magnets long time ago, but desided reintroduce myself to that again. I mostly did modern animals like lizards and sharks, but also some paleo ones. I have been trying to improve them from basic ones long time ago.

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!

Howdy! I excavated big chunk (40 lbs) of jurrasic ammonite or nautilus(?). Could you help me identify it? Much appreciate

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.

I found this Ammonite a couple weeks ago and I wanted to prep it. I dont know how to prep the inner whorls and it seems kinda hard. Im Using a Dremel 290 (factory tip bc the Zoic tips doesn't arrive yet) Any opinion or tip will be good welcome!

Hello ! I got this fossil from my friend. It's from the Australian Museum. What species does this fossil belong to? I hope everyone be careful of abnormal weather. Thanks.

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.

hello, does anyone know what is this? I know it's from southern Germany or Austria mountain areas. Got it together with several ammonites and sea floor sediments parts. The possible fossil is around 9 cm long and 5 wide. Thank you

First one I want to confirm ID, it's still a work in progress, Calycoceras Tarrantense? The other one I just wanted to share, I haven't seen such unique preservation and view of the siphuncle and think it's facinating.

Beginners luck: one of the very first ammonites I found in March of this year is apparently quite rare, in fact, I’ve never found one since - Graysonites lozoi. I believe the Grayson Formation, where I found this, typically only has nautiloids, and some nice oysters. It’s not in great shape, and I haven’t even tried to remove any matrix, but it’s still an interesting ammonite that looks a bit different from the typical Mortoniceras ammonites I find. Location is Tarrant County, actually in Burleson where I live.

I want to thank @AncientEarth for the wonderful prep work on this specimen. I'll be excited to pick it up next month. Aaron does really good work and I will definitely use him again in the future.

So i found this Ammonite few months ago. I want to prep it but there is some factors that made me think its quite hard/impossible with the tools that I have right now The first thing is how sticky is the matrix (I dont know if you can see in the image) but the matrix is really sticky and thick in some places. The second thing is the size of the specimen, and its not even complete. Thats the principal thing that made me want to prep it, but I dont know if is possible I have the Dremel 290 with the Zoic tips
