    Hello

    I found this great fossil on the shoreline in Kerry and was wondering if anybody knows anything about it? Im pretty sure it is limestone.
    Thanks
    Paul

    Looks like an ammonite to me.

    I think it is an amonite too. (or it may be a danish pastry as served by British rail :D )

    Dont know if it is an amonite, it might be a gastropod.

    Good call. It does have that outward curl not normally associated with ammonites.
