Hello, my name is Marco and I am new to this page. I was interested in entering because 2 years ago my family and I bought a piece of land and we are building our house, and when digging for construction we found a lot of stone almost 3 feet deep, and in those stones we found many ammonites, some as big as a foot. and a half and other small ones, I will upload photos very soon, I thought they were not so important and for more than a year I used them as a path to step on. Here’s one of them but i will post more clear pictures later.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

Can someone tell me what is this?

That's a shark tooth! I don't know what age your fossils are from but I would guess goblin shark, but I would wait for more expert opinions.

Some of better preserved ammonites are Eopachydiscus marcianus which could be from the Duck Creek Formation.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.
