New Members Debzilla Posted November 1, 2017 New Members Share Posted November 1, 2017 Hi I know nothing about ammonites but have a large titanites ammonite that's been in my family for years and I wondered if this fossil has anything inside if cut and polished or is it the same inside as the raw outside material? I've seen some very bright th very dull patterns in some cut and polished ammonites but I'm not sure which type they have to be to look like this(I've read Madagascar ) and the one I have I've been told is from Portland Dorset any info welcomed and very much appreciated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I've not had any direct experience with that species, but I believe that most of the Portland ammonites are clay-limestone steinkerns, which would not allow for any of the internal mineralization of which you are hoping. At least your sample looks that way, particularly if there is no mineralization to be seen at the spot where a chip is missing from the outer whorls. 3 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Miocene_Mason Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I would never cut that, looks to crumbly. What a beautiful and gigantic specimen! 1 Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
