Ludwigia Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi Kat, Well, to start with, you also have a few minerals like agate and bournonite, and some recent shells amongst your fossils, but I guess you know that anyway. The fish and the large shark tooth are nice, as well as the sea urchin. Do you know where they come from? The ammonite with the number 17 on it looks to be a Dactylioceras from the Lower Jurassic.

piranha Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi Fossil Kat and Welcome to TFF. Thanks for sharing part of your wonderful collection with us.

fossil_kat Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Thanks for your comments. The fish i brought in Covent Garden, London. And my big sharks tooth was brought as a present for me from my dad at a car boot about 18 years ago. The Ammonite with 17 on it i found on Charmouth beach whilst on a school trip about 15 years ago.

Coco Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hi, Your red recent shell is probably a Calliostomatidae (family).

Terry Dactyll Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 The Ammonite with 17 on it i found on Charmouth beach whilst on a school trip about 15 years ago. Fossil_Kat... Nice collection... If you did infact find the ammonite with the ''number 17'' written on it on Charmouth beach then I presume someone has dumped it there after driving it 300 miles... It originates from the Whitby area and is infact a Dactylioceras as Roger pointed out... The counterpart also in the photo below is also from a Whitby Dactylioceras... The large sectioned ammonite chunk pictured below looks to me like it displays the calcite colours found in the Frodingham Ironstone layer at Scunthorpe Ironworks North Lincolnshire... So potentially it is a piece of an ammonite from there that are famous around the world with ammonite collectors for the quality of preservation... The red/pink calcite is from the iron staining of the white calcite and the lime green calcite containing a mineral called Chamosite... As for species if it is a 'scunnie' I'd go for Aegasteroceras sp Hope this helps... Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
