Thanks, Bam. I maintain all fossils are cool, whether found or purchased. I actually went out with the idea of finding those ammonioids and bringing one home as someone had told me they were there. But then I found them and realized I was not prepared to spend the next 8 to 10 hours chiseling one out of the rock then dragging it-- probably weighing 30 pounds-- over a mile back to my car. Plus, it was on Bureau of Land Management land, and it would be illegal to remove fossils from BLM land. I would never do such a thing (note sarcasm... I came home with about 200 pounds of rocks collected on BLM land). So I just took a picture instead.

And thanks, Bam, for the comments about my pics. Maybe I should put some over in the hobbies forum... but I kinda like it here. And I'm worried that posting evilution info outside of SC might cause a bit of a row.
