RJB Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I brought home a bunch of rock from South Dakota last weekend. I thought Id post a picture of this ammonite being that it looks soooooooooo darned good! And it does, but the other side is absolute toast!!! The opposite side was outside the edge of the rock and got destroyed. Sad but that's the way mother nature is sometimes. Still a very nice display piece though.

Ptychodus04 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 That's a beauty. Thankfully, you can only see one side at a time!!!

RJB Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 I cleaned this ammo up a little bit today. Here is what is looks like now, plus the other side just to show you what I mean by 'toast'. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I wouldn't complain, it looks better than most things I find here, where most ammonites are missing one whole side - since burial, not just since exposure/erosion!

Ludwigia Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I'll get in the queue here too. Just throw it over the Atlantic to me and I'll toss a nice Jurassic ammonite multiblock back in its place Greetings from the Lake of Constance.
