Ludwigia Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 You're right about their being common, and not only in the UK. But they certainly are nicely preserved, although yours appears to have been repaired. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Bobby Rico Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 Thank you so much @Kosmoceras I had a cabinet turned over in a burglary that happened years ago and had a big mixed up fossil and labels . Found the right label to go this ammonite now. Do you know is it rare , this is the one and only I have found. I have still have 15 years later got lots of partial trilobites and labels that I can't make head nor tail of. Maybe The TTF can help me get that info back. 22.
