Shamalama Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 They look like heavily weathered ammonites to me. Where were they found? -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 'Fraid I don't think they can be ammonites, since they were found in Quail Ridge Creek, Gainesville, Florida. They are odd, though, eh? ~Major Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 looks like inside mold of scallop or pectin or something bivalvy Not too familiar with what's in your area, but is it possible that it's a phosphate nodule with a bivalve "mold"? It almost looks like another piece of shell is attach to the lower left on the wide shot. My compliments on your improved photos. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if we have such a thing, I don't see why we wouldn't, though- we have practically everything else lol.. I'll get a picture of the lower left area for you and thanks! @Tracer: Sounds practical enough, and likely.. ~Major Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
