RJB Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 My youngest son brought this home earlier this year and ive been attacking it off and on since then. One of those fossils where the more work I do on it, the better it gets. Its not complete, but close. I forget the name of this critter but it was found in the Bear Paw shales. it also has some hollow issues and is slightly crushed, but even though, it looks perty dang cool! I don't think my son wants it, so this one, after its finished, may go into my own collection? WoooooHoooooo!! RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Very nice ammonite and prep!! Just the geodized areas!! They do add to the appeal of it! Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
