Hello everyone, I recently started to consider prepping some of the ammonites I own but something’s really been puzzling me. When I’m splitting rocks at Lyme Regis, the ammonites have a negative impression which is sort of orange but when prepping, you can see that it’s a very thin layer that flakes off. I’ve seen many preps that have left this on and many that have taken it off. What is this orange layer? Is it shell? And should it be left on while prepping? I’ve left a picture found on the web below. Many Thanks

This looks too nice to be real o.o
empowereddave posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This looks too clean to be real, especially considering all the frog fossils I see are of bones only. If this isn't a natural formation, how in the heck was this done? Cause it looks like real rock at the very least to me, and the negative impression itself does look natural(the edges of the frog features look weathered), apart from the incredible detail. Sorry if this is obviously fake, I don't think I've ever looked at more than a couple fossils in my entire life :/ -
I found this gastropod imprint a couple weeks ago in Tertiary sediment (geologic maps) I found this gastropod online (Falsifusus ludovicianus) which lived during the same time period and has similar ridges and those tiny crown marking near the top. Let me know if this seems reasonable (I put the pictures of the gastropod I found online in the comments below.)

This "river rock" came from a bag purchased at a home center in Illinois so the place it was originally found is unknowable. Can someone help me identify this, please? It is a cylindrical impression of something with rings. In my mind's eye I'm seeing a plant stem or reed of some sort buried in mud near a stream or pond, but I'm virtually clueless about these things and would appreciate it is a more knowledgeable kind soul would offer a more informed opinion! Is it plant? Animal? Insect? Approximate age? Thank you!
