belemniten Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Is this a part of a fish ? Or only an ammonite or something else...? I find it in Holzmaden.

Fossildude19 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I don't think it is fish. I am not seeing evidence of individual scales, as one would expect from a fish. Looks like maybe an ammonite crushed from the top down? Maybe a local can help you with ID.

TqB Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) I agree it's a bit of ammonite, looks like Phylloceras (and a harpoceratid on the left). Edited January 8, 2016 by TqB Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raggedy Man Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 17 minutes to solve the "problem" Thanks both... Hopefully i find recently a fish As an individual, it's possible an identification could take days to months. However, as a member of TFF you're part of a collective mind that grows every day. Best regards, Paul 1 ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
