obsessed1 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 It looks like a section of ammonite. I'm sure someone from your area will be able to give a more detailed ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dead but not forgotten Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 It does look a lot like an ammonite section, but when he said Ft worth (which is my current hunting grounds) it couldn't be. Our ammonites don't have any shell material. I had to go look it up. Anyways Ginstrvr6 I see you're new on The Fossil Forum (TFF) just wanted to say welcome and thank you.

I had one for like 10 years and sold it.. Went through a bunch of other VW's and wound up buying another ginster cause I missed it so much lol..
