Tiny Ammonite Fossils

[Scott U]

Hello All

I've collected a sample of rock from the Warwickshire Jurassic that has a small 'clump' of fossils about 1.5 cm x 1cm on it. It was mucky in the quarry but when I cleaned it up I found that the clump mostly consists of tiny ammonites. They range from about 4mm to smaller than I can resolve with a hand lens. If all the tiny bumps are extremely tiny ammonites there might be hundreds contained within this small area. Has anyone come across this before? Should I try to find an interested expert to look at it? I wondered if it might be faeces from something that ate the ammonites or have I got some kind of ammonite nursery on my hands?

First of all, Scott U,

Does your rock look like the pictures in This Thread,

It could be poop, or maybe oolites. I dont think the rocks I found are poop because there are larger (up to 7cm) ammonoids mixed in with the small ones. I think the large ones would have been crushed if they had gone thru the ringer (so to say)

Is there any way you could post some pictures?
