quote: a mammoth ammonite which will be seen by the public for the first time. Several were found in Hawke's Bay.
Anyone down there able to visit or get pics of this?

Will if I can - not sure when we'll next be down, but we do make it occasionally.

Hey Tintenfisch. Im going to be in NZ around the first of November. By any chance do you do any fossil hunting? By any chance can we meet up and do a bit of hunting? Crossing my fingers.

When you go, be sure to stop off at Hawkes Bay and get a photo of this Mammoth Ammonite. :wink:

Red arrow indicates Hawke's Bay. The National Aquarium in Napier is pretty good.
