Gareth_ Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Hey all, I picked up these 2 ammonites too cheap to leave but the seller had no provenance. Ammonites and their genera / species are not something I know much about but a little research suggests they might be from Madagascar Can anyone tap in to their ammonite knowledge banks and help me out a bit? The darker one has an obvious little restoration work on the shell The other has a repair but overall they seem like really nice specimens Scale - CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.cheese Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 They both look like Dactylioceras Ammonites to me and I have had them exactly the same from Morocco so that is a good shout. They can be found all over the world but the sandy colour is Moroccan as far as I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
