Ludwigia Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I at least had a look, but couldn't even get an idea on that ammonite. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Do we know what the second picture even is? The crab (3rd) and ammonite ( 4th...and really nice one!) are easy enough to make out. First pic looks reptilian or crustacean I can't tell. I can't even begin with detailed taxonomy on any of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Pic 1 looks to be some kinda trilobite Pic 2 is an upside-down lobster. Can't figure out what it is unless I have locality info. Here is an example of Hoploparia from Australia on the left and Meyeria on the right Pic 3 - Maybe Harpactocarcinus from Italy. Here's an example. Take note I haven't built up a crab collection so I am outta my depth here. Pic 4- Your ammonite could be a Perisphinctes. Here's an example Your friend needs to get more locality info because without that critical data, much of what we can say is just guesswork. Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

TqB Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 There's so much homeomorphy with ammonites that it's almost impossible without the age or. at least, distinctive preservation. And a venter shot. The nearest one that comes to mind that I'm familiar with is Acanthopleuroceras but it could be a whole period out. e.g. this photo from here: http://crioceratites.free.fr/pliensbachien_16.htm Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been from some old guys collection who didnt keep any info with his fossils. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
