Not a portal, just a portal shell with a picture gallery. 25 pics in all, but I am not sure of their relevance: the one it showed me is Portal:Ammonoids/Selected picture/2, which is some streetlamps in Dorset with a paleontology link.

This is one of a very large number of paleontology-related portals created by Abyssal (talk · contribs), this one was built in 2015, and then apparently abandoned.

Maybe there could be a portal on Ammonoids, but this is not it..

Per WP:PORTAL, "Portals serve as enhanced 'Main Pages' for specific broad subjects". Sadly, this one does not enhance.

Abyssal has created some portals which are well-developed (see User:Abyssal/Abyssal portal/Portals started). Others less so: see the current MFD:Portal:Pseudosuchians, MFD:Portal:Trace fossils, and the closed MFD:Portal:Prehistory of Oceania and MFD:Portal:Prehistory of North America BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:21, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - When BHG says, "just a portal shell", does that mean an ammonoid shell, or is this a trace fossil? But her analysis is sound. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:37, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or userify, if desired. I think we could have safely bundled these fossil micro-portals of Abyssal's. It's got 24 images, but nothing else – not a portal, just an image gallery. Espresso Addict (talk) 08:06, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Old not-a-portal, 32 subpages, created 2015-11-19 15:37:05 by User:Abyssal. Herring gull, herring gull, you seems so lonely facing the empty Portal Sea. Portal:Ammonoids. Pldx1 (talk) 12:38, 1 May 2019 (UTC) signed later[reply]
Delete It's just a portal shell.
