Welsh Wizard Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Hi My wife and I have just returned from a relaxing week on the Yorkshire coast, walking and looking for ammonites. We didn’t find much but what we did find were pretty rare. First some scenic pics: The last is Whitby Abbey which features in Dracula. First ammonite, an Asteroceras multi block. Second, a androgynoceras multi block Third Paltechioceras (extremely rare and needs glueing back together and prepping) Peronceras subarmatum Apoderoceras subtriangularae (rare and in solid pyrite) all ammonites need prepping and they were mainly from Robin Hoods Bay. Finally, a promising crinoid block. Sadly no bone (apart from a few pyritic ribs) Edited October 30, 2021 by Welsh Wizard 1 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Great stuff, and scenic shots of one of my ancestral home regions. Love the crinoid. I would have assumed the Paltechioceras was a Dac but I guess they look quite similar. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welsh Wizard Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 Prep finished on these from that trip: Androgynoceras maculatum double: Paltechioceras sp. Very rare from Yorkshire and the only one I’ve found. A bit pyritic and flattened but I’ll keep it for now. Asteroceras sp. Double again plus a belemnite. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welsh Wizard Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 This is a whopper of an arnioceras block from Robin Hoods Bay that I am slowly working through and revealing the ammonites. It’s painful as the rock is really hard and the ammonites are sticky. 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost track trying to count zooming in and out on my phone, but I think it's over 50. Edited February 16, 2022 by Adam86cucv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all will make it through the prep process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
