#suture #ammonites better visible in this picture on very small pyritised ones.
I've just managed watched Fran Vidaković's fantastic talk on restoring ammonites, from last weekend's #PaleostreamCon. So here're a few #ammonites!
You can watch it here if you're interested!

A bunch of #fossils for #Fossilfriday, gifted to me by my colleague from the #zoologischesmuseumzürich. Due to incompleteness or lack of documentation they were deemed to not be scientifically useful, so rather than throwing them away to make storage room they decided to gift them for my private collection instead. At left is a piece of a #mammoth tooth, there‘s a few #ammonites and #brachiopods from Morroco and Switzerland and some #crinoid stems from #Spitzbergen. #paleontology #museums

A bunch of #fossils gifted to me by my colleague from the #zoologischesmuseumzürich. Due to incompleteness or lack of documentation they were deemed to not be scientifically useful anymore, so rather than throwing them away to make storage room they decided to gift them for my private collection instead. At left is a piece of a #mammoth molar, there‘s a few #ammonites and #brachiopods from Morroco and Switzerland and some #crinoid stems from #Spitzbergen.

the lottery
of taphonomy
all the things
which happen between
when an organism dies
and when a fossil is found
frequently ends in nothing
sometimes
a fragment of a jaw
or a piece of petrified wood
rarely
something more
and some things
like complete sauropod necks
or ammonite soft parts
are strangely, exceptionally rare

First ammonite of the year!
Maximites is a truly tiny Carboniferous cephalopod reaching a shell diameter of barely 10mm.
This little fella was inspired by glass squid and other translucent molluscs.
I've now made the biggest and smallest ammonites, time to fill in the gaps!

Ammonites! Get your fresh ammonites here!
Okay, maybe 165 million years old (Middle Jurassic) doesn't quite qualify as fresh.
Locality: Reckenberg, Bavaria, Germany
Size: 14.6 × 11.6 × 10.4 cm (That's about 6 in. across for you non-metric folks)
