Very nice! It would be pretty cool to slice that in half and hang them on the wall with plate hangers!

I would definatly have this cut and polished, they can look so much nicer inside than they do outside.

This one appears to be from a genus called Eopachydiscus. Not 100% sure on the species but could be one of a couple. It probably came from the Lower Cretaceous aged Duck Creek Formation on the west side of Ft. Worth. This is an internal mold of the ammonite and has the normal limestone presentation. I don't believe you would have much success slicing this guy open. If you did, I don't think it will show the internal structure like the Calycoceras ammonites from the Woodbine Formation do.
