I found this ammonite on a beach in Dorset UK. It's from the Middle Jurassic Inferior Oolite Formation. The neat thing is the calcite crystals that grew in the empty chambers.

Is it a geode or a fossil? I would say, lovely combination. Thanks for sharing.

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

That is a really nice and educative specimen. You can see lots of characteristics of ammonites (shell, steinkern, chambers).

The sipho must be also somewhere ;) ?
