Name: Cleoniceras besaiei Ammonite Time Period: Upper Early Cretaceous, Albian Stage Locality: Mahajanga Province, Madagascar This ammonite species is known as Cleoniceras, and the preservation is such that most of the original iridescent shell is preserved. The iridescence is a result of light p...
I've posted some pictures of the ammonite I bought and want to polish. If you look at the third picture, (ammonite 2.jpg), you will see that on the ammonite some rainbow color resides. I want to make the whole ammonite that color. Is there any way to polish it to make the rainbow show more?
Hello! I'm a lover of Ammonites, in particular I adore the ones with the preserved iridescent layer of the mother of pearl. Because I don't have the knowledge and preparation of a professional, I would like to know if this specimen I recently bought is a real one or it is fake, apart from the car...
North Carolina is an amazing U.S. state for fossils, it has loads of fossils from the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic (although if you want Jurassic look elsewhere). If you haven’t already, you should come check it out! Pics from today’s trip: Pics from the first trip: Edited October 21, 2021 by Lando_Calrissian_4tw
We went camping last weekend out at Delintment Lake in eastern Oregon. We went to check out the ammonite fossils. It was a great place! Kids loved it. Here are some of our finds. Interesting area because you could dig in one area and it was really loose compacted clay and in another area less tha...
If you look at the left-side of the photo, you can see relatively fresh breakage and the internal structure of one of the chambers that shows that the ammonite is essentially aragonite (Or calcite, it's debatable). How deep it goes is another question, but it seems to be that there is a relatively thick layer, at least.
For Spring break we headed down to Texas for a vacation. My daughter has a love of ammonites and prehistoric marine reptiles, so I thought Texas would be a great place to hunt some fossils as well as do some general vacationing. We spent our first 5 days in Sherman as it seemed most centrally loc...
Some assorted ammonite fragments. I believe I have tentatively identified the small ammonites as Oxytropidoceras sp. and the larger ones as Engonoceras sp. - but any correction to that would be greatly appreciated. All these fossils were in the Goodland Formation (Cretaceous Limestone 105-103 mya) in Tarrant County, North Texas.
The Ammonites of Madagascar are globally renowned, with numerous well-preserved genera and species. However, I've never seen one of these specimens in an unpolished state, as most are heavily polished. Does anyone have a photo of these fossils in a more "natural" condition?
