Ammonite fossil is a snail like impression in a dark, grey and brown
sedimentary rock. The fossil impression measures 7cm across and has a
darker shiny appearance. A '13' is numbered in black ink on a white
circle.
Ammonite fossil was found in Terrace, B.C. and is known as one of the
most important groups of fossils for dating Mesozoic rocks as they
changed very rapidly with time and had wide geographical distributions.

Description:
Ammonite fossil fragments are portions of snail-like creatures, light brown
in color they have small black color ridges in a circular form. A-Small
portion measuring 2cm by 1.5cm and .25cm deep has ridges on either
side. B-Lighter in color, this ammonite measures 3cm by 2cm and 1.5cm
deep and then ends are flat with no raised ridges. C-Largest of the five
fossil samples, this ammonite measures 4cm by 3cm by 1cm. It has
curved ridges on either side. D-Grey-brown in color this ammonite has
half of snail-like impression on one side with deep and distinct grooves.
Measurements include 4.5cm in length, 4cm wide and 1.25cm thick. EMedium-brown in color this mussel or Modiolus is 2.5cm in length with
distinct shell lines and textures. Each ammonite sample has a '23' in
black lettering on a small white circle.
Smaller ammonite fragments were found at Hunter Basin in Telkwa.
Possibly dating back to the Jurassic era of 150 million ago, these fossils
are from a marine environment.

Description:
Material:
A brown and grey colored rock formed in the shape of a coiled
ammonite. The fossil has been fragmented and resembles one half of a
doughnut. On one side the ribbing of the ammonite is evident, the other
side is broken and irregular. It appears the rock has been glued together.
This ammonite species is an index fossil for the upper Sinemuriza and
lower Jurassic, Mesozoic era. It was found on a small island near
Snowshoe Island, Babine Lake. It can be locally found in the Telkwa
range.
