VladyslaV Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Found those recently in a canyon in Israel, I think less than ten kilometers from the sea shore. By the formation and the height found, it can be from a meter to twenty five meters comparing to the banks and cliffs near by, I would assume that they are pretty old, maybe dinosaur times, can't be specific about it and can easily be mistaken ... I suppose that they can be parts of fossilized ammonites due to their swirling and ribbing. Hope the pictures will be good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Some sort of bivalve, perhaps somewhere in the oyster group, would be my bet. 3 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I was thinking oyster also. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VladyslaV Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 Is there a way to determine an approximate age of those fossils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need to do research on the stratigraphy of the location and if possible the exact outcrop where these were found. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

According to the chart I found it can be from the middle to late Jurassic. It's very interesting, I was expecting something like that, but wasn't sure about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
