    The species differences are so subtle! Spectacular finds, beautiful preparation.

    • @YorkshireFossils
      @YorkshireFossils  3 года назад +5

      I know right, and these are some of the most obvious differences! There are many people out there who know much more about ammonites than us and can spot even more subtle features!

      @@YorkshireFossils No matter how much we think we know, there’s always someone who knows even more, ha ha. Actually, I was wondering what so excited you about the first ammonite Shea cracked open here. It looked rather moshed down on the video.

      I’m pretty sure it’s a species of ammonite they don’t find often, in good condition.

    I would love to see your Dad in action, prepping one of these nodules. His work is so pristine, there must be some lessons for us to glean here! I found a cross sectioned ammonite nodule, I daren't hit it for fear of a 200 peice jigsaw puzzle with no picture lol

    I liked the second one opened, the crystal appearance makes it special. Your dad is also very talented.

      It’s pretty nice isn’t it, a pretty unusual feature too for these specimens, so it was nice to see! Thank you, his work has certainly required lots of dedication and practise 🙏

    Thanks so much for bringing these amazing fossils back to the beach. It really is more naturally appreciated when they’re in their ancient habitat.
    Nice splitting there Shea! An amazing variety of cool fossils. Your dad is a true artist.
    I liked the 2nd split better because of what it showed us about the animal from the angle it broke out of the nodule. I’m curious to see either prepared.
    Great vid.
    Take care guys.

    Great video highlighting the slight differences between the species. The mottling colour on the last specimen is beautiful and the restoration work is incredible. I would really enjoy more videos like this that show the finished specimen and tell us the species.
