View Full Version : Alternative Easter Gift! Jean Apr 4th, 2007, 09:52pm I'm allergic to chocolate so no choc eggs for me :boohoo: but a friend gave me an alternative egg! Plus I picked up (in the museum shop and exchanged $$ for it!) this ammonite still showing nacre. tonmo Apr 5th, 2007, 06:27am Very nice! Architeuthoceras Apr 5th, 2007, 09:14am Cool! an actual fossil nautiloid egg:grin: sorseress Apr 5th, 2007, 04:17pm I gave one of those to Greg last year. I have an orthoceras bowl that I got for Christmas. Phil Apr 5th, 2007, 05:13pm Lovely Orthoceras egg there Jean. If it hatches, please can we have the scoop here? I think the ammonite might well be a Cretaceous Desmoceras from Madagascar as I have one very similar, but please don't take my word for it. (Allergic to chocolate? That's an appalling crime...) hallucigenia Apr 7th, 2007, 03:58am So today Monty showed me an ammonite, purportedly from Madagascar, that looks a fair bit like the second one... Jean Apr 10th, 2007, 05:20pm According to the museum the ammonite is from Madagascar. I will keep all posted on hatching of the egg, does anyone know the length of the gestation period? J Architeuthoceras Apr 10th, 2007, 05:24pm does anyone know the length of the gestation period? It was probably laid in the Devonian Period, so it will be at about 395 million years. :wink: Jean Apr 10th, 2007, 05:26pm It was probably laid in the Devonian Period, so it will be at about 395 million years. :wink: So I won't hold my breath waiting then?
