New Members Erika1631 Posted August 5, 2022 New Members Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Hello! The other day I visited a museum here in Perth and noticed they sold fossils in the gift shop. I bought a fossil of an ammonite as a gift for my younger sister, who absolutely loves anything prehistoric. The store gave no information other than it was an ammonite, but having bought it here in Perth I suppose it might well be from Australia at the very least. I apologise for not having more a specific location. If necessary I could send them an email and ask, though from the conversation I had at the store it seemed like the gift store staff weren't particularly well-informed themselves unfortunately. They came "pre-sliced" but I'm not sure if the internal structure helps at all. I also took exact measurements, as instructed. I hope the photos are sharp and well-lit enough! Thank you in advance!

Fossildude19 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 This looks like an ammonite from Madagascar, Cleoniceras. 5 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Fossildude19 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 These are very common in gift shops, as they can be quite pretty. I hope your sister enjoys it.
