Ammonites

Recommended Posts

My only ammonite so far. I have some tinier ones that are agatized in blue chalcedony from Wyoming, if I can find them.

Gem-stone quality 'tractor tire' ammonite. Doesn't get much better than this even at this tiny of a size!

A Rat-

Nice ammo's. I hope you can find the calcedony amm's from Wyoming. I always like to see fun stuff from WY.

That coral is from WY?? I've never seen anything like that around here. Do you know what age it is?

I'm fairly sure I got it in Wyoming. I could also say, 'MAYBE' Wyoming. I've not had it very long so I was sure it was from Wyoming. It may have been a fossil from Florida? I haven't been there in years. I had oyster shell from Wyoming and it was packed with the coral tagged in my box from Wyoming. It could very well be from some other place. I'll say I am 80% certain it's from Wyoming. It would have been the Red Desert area. I do not know the age except it is very old.

I did some review on my fossil corral. Since the Red Desert used to be a fresh water inland lake of HUGE proportions, I asked some family members and I was told the fossil corral came not from the Red Desert but my mother's estate when she passed away in 2001. The corral was put in a box I had at the house and that's why it was marked 'Wyoming'. It came from Florida, not Wyoming. I have no idea where in Florida?
