Nearly had a 3D Somerset Caloceras but it turned out to be just a body chamber... the bed shows some calcification of inner whorls on some specimens so it needs another look sometime... I'll put it on me list... Attachments:

I couldnt walk past this the other day although I dont pick many up as I dont want to fill a room with them... it has a lovely purple hue to it when its wet...I'll expose the rest and leave it as is I think... Attachments:

Tripped over it... for sure... ;D...I wont say how many times I must of walked past it....Thanks for showing an interest... I done a few hours on the new one and cut a few kilos of rock off the back, prepped the rest of the outer whorl out and cut a base on it... I just need to work on the centre now... Attachments:
