    What's this Fossil please?

    Hello all, I don't know much/anything about fossils. Could anyone tell me what this one is?

    It was found on the last day of our holiday by my daughter's lucky friend. I was detecting in a field at the time and not finding much I should have gone to the beach too!

    NICE ammonite fossil.

    Yeah, it's at least 65.5 million years old. It kinda looks like some of the Jurassic age ones so could be even older. Hopefully an ammonut will chime in with a more precise ID.
