Urban geology

I used to travel far to look for fossils. But now I found out I do not have to, they're everywhere around me. In buildings, statues and so forth. The only problem is hammering them out........

The specimen below is an ammonoid cephalopod (or maybe a snail) in Belgian limestone dating from the Late Devonian - Early Carboniferous. So around 360 Million years old.
