Hahaha come whenever you want! just rent a car and we can for sure do a lot! never fall into geologic tour guides in portugal cause most of them take you to total turistic beaches and wont let you take fossil samples with you.

arthurvoss Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 this is maybe one of the rarest Ammonites i found. Came from the cretaceous period of Magoito/Sintra. ive colected in this beach for over 8 years, over and over again and just found 2 specimens, one of them in very bad conditions... would love to know the species 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I have already scheduled a surprise side trip to Magoito beach for the missus, and we'll be there in just over two weeks. All these pictures are just making me giddy with excitement! Keep posting more! Fixe! Muito obrigado! ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your cretaceous fish teeth are probably from some species of drum fish. Sorry I can't help you further with that ammonite. You've made some very nice finds over the years!

Kane Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Good to see you back and still collecting some marvellous pieces! I was able to get to Magoito beach last July and it was quite lovely. I didn't bring any tools, so I could not do much extraction work. It was mostly oyster beds with some very nice high-spired gastropods. Some of the best fossils were in Lisbon, but they were nested in the Sao Jorge castle... I don't think they would have looked kindly upon me if I started chipping out a few pieces. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
