Fiann Smithwick Instagram – Not all fossils can be saved from the elements. This large ammonite was preserved compressed in the shale and was exposed at low tide. The action of the waves rolling over it and grinding sand onto the shell gradually eroded it over time. These flat ammonites are very hard to salvage due to their delicate preservation. Last time it checked, this ammonite was no more, destroyed by the erosive forces that first revealed it.
