Brevicollis Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Where was it found ? Whithout knowing the finding location, its hard to tell what it is. My best guess would be a rock in a rock. My account and something about me : My still growing collection : My paleoart : Im just a guy who really loves fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best guess would be a rock in a rock. Montgomery County, PA which I’ve been told is not the expected geology for fossils. Just the appearance has me very curious - I’m very tempted to chisel away just to see the what’s creating the illusion! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearLake Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Not seeing anything that says fossil. I agree it is more likely a pebble within a conglomerate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psittacosaur9 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) To me it looks too smooth to be an ammonite. They either have a regular ribbed surface or sutures (the weird repeating lines you'll see clearly on polished ammonite specimens).

I assumed those lighter brown sections would be the “sutures” you described? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
