DanJeavs Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Once again I slack in posting things on here. last week I decided to dig out a very large ammonite I found last year. It’s a Phylloceras Heterophyllum. Quite rare around here, and to get one as big as this is, is even rarer. It weighed an absolute tonne but worth it. All the prep work is done, all that’s left now is to rebuild some small sections and cracks. It’ll be a stunning piece once’s finished. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 You've sure got a bit of modelling ahead of you, but judging from what I've already seen from you it should turn out just fine. Great find! I probably would have waited 2 years to tackle that one Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
