    It is a "Rock" when it's on the ground.
    It is a "Specimen" when picked up and taken home.

          B2S - Those are some awesome fossils. Never see stuff like that around here, at least I don't. Then again maybe I'm just not looking in the right places..

              I was meaning to say the first two specimens are two different ammonites of the same species.
              Both are solid calcite crystal as is the Dumbli, (The see through one) Those are becoming increasingly rare.

                  Keep those beauties coming Jessy.
                  Do you find them free from the native stone or do you have to remove the excess stone before you take those pictures?

                  In life there are losers and finders. Which one are you?

                    Some I find freestone and some embedded in the matrix.
                    I one found one stone I am working on now that contains three ammonites.
                    All of these were found in the gravel banks.
