Thank you 🙏 yes it was a good sized rib

They are heavy with mineral content, like iron pyrite. The blood vessels are often preserved with calcite or iron pyrite in. You do get hollow bones 🦴 on the beach but they are very light and there is hollow honey comb effect within the bone

That was entertaining

Thanks 🙏 very much for watching 🌊🪨🌀

Thanks so much for posting these outstanding videos! Just curious, do you identify the different types of ammonites mostly based on the shape/size of the ammonite itself or also based on the type of rock it is in and the way it is preserved?

Thank you for your comment, 🙏 all the ways you have mentioned are good ways for me to identify ammonites - along the Jurassic Coast! The main thing I got to learn when I was young is to handle other fossil collections of ammonites and learn from them. I was lucky enough to be able to see and add to the Foster collection of ammonites- many times. That was a great learning resource at the time - locally. But now it’s in the Cardiff Museum- in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

Those are quite chunky those particular species of ammonite! They are fun to find and prepare !

Are you a palaeontologist or do this as a hobby

It was my hobby, my dad was an international geologist so I learnt a lot from him before my “ A “ levels and further courses
