I'm tired, I'm not wearing glasses, I look at the screen and I thought Gordon Ramsey was teaching me how to cook ammonites...

is it just me, or does anyone else hate to see fossils get broken chipped or anything of the sort happen, it just makes me stressed out to see ancient history just being lost. Also love the video, it taught me a lot.

It’s all very Interesting. I didn’t know ammonites existed in so many sizes, colors and shapes.

I’ve got one from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, and always wanted to know more about it. Thank you so much for your fine presentation. I really appreciate it. 🙏. I. Keep my ammonite next to a nautilus shell, and a crystal nautilus shell. Makes a nice trio! 🤗

Loved the video and the bit on how they got their name. I am in Southern Alberta so it’s all about Ammolites, Bearspaw formation and the gems that can be made from them. Loved the video and science rather than just the gems that can be made from them.

I was just at the Royal Tyrell museum! It is all so fascinating, it has been a while since I have done a Dino deep dive. I came here because of all the beautiful ammonites on display at the museum.

Nice. I like ammonites, they have so different shapes of their shells, some looks like a paperclip. Some scientists believe, that some species survived the createcous age into the danian age.

Thank you for a very informative presentation. I found a 12 cm ammonite several decades ago while walking through some woods near the DFW Airport. I would like to learn more about the animal that inhabited this shell and how I may clean and perhaps polish the shell. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I do have a question for you. I have what I believe to be an ammonite, first discovered by me between 1973 and 1975 in Germany while on field maneuvers in a U.S. military training area. It’s a circular spiraling shape about 5” in diameter and about 1” thick. It’s mostly light orange in color, though other parts of it are darker and look like pieces of shell. It is still intact exactly as I found it… never brushed, never cleaned, or exposed to water, etc. I would really appreciate your help in identifying what it really is, and approximately how old it might be. Thank you in advance… I can also send you pics of it if you like.

"Bivalve, a left and a right" But why not "a top and a bottom"? Doesn't really matter, I'm just curious because it's so bizarre

@Okamy1993 2 жыл бұрын

In Biology there is a large group (clade) of animals called bilateria. They have a symmetry axes (as an embyro) in common, which divide the body in a left and right side (mirror). we humans and the bilvalves are also members of this large group which evolved for a really long time... therefore the expert says right and left for describing the morphology and anatomy of those animals.

@Evergreen_Wizard Жыл бұрын

Hah, bivalve molluscs actually live all their lives laying on the side of the body. The clam’s half-shells are located on the right and the left (lateral) sides of the animal. In contrast, there is actually another unrelated group of shelled animals called brachiopods, which have top and bottom valves, because their half-shells are connected to the upper and the lower sides of the animal.
