Found this perfect-looking nodule washed up at low tide — and I knew it had potential. It was an absolute nightmare to open, and lots of nodules like this are empty… but this one paid off in the best way possible. Inside was a beautifully preserved ammonite, hidden until the very last split. These moments are exactly why fossil hunting never gets old.

We came across this large nodule with some calcite veins running though it and decided to investigate further 🦕 Although it’s not a fossil we thought it was still worth checking on the off chance something was hidden within. For more videos, check out my YouTube channel ‘Yorkshire.Fossils’! If you would like a rock containing a fossil to crack open yourself at home, or an already prepared specimen, please message us directly or visit our website yorkshirefossils. | Fossils Explorer

A beautiful whole big nodule found on Charmouth beach by my friend Paul and recently prepared by me :) From the popcorn stone - these nodules can always be a bit of a gamble. Not all nodules contain ammonites and out of those that do, only a small amount of them contain ammonites with good enough preservation to prep. I was very happy to get into this one and discover some large Caenisites accompanied by some promicroceras, Microderoceras and Cymbites ammonites :) #charmouthbeach #charmouth #amm
