Found in ammonitico rosso of the Ionian zone (Mavron Oros, NW Epirus, Greece) amongst ammonite fossils (Calliphylloceras, Harpoceras, Hildoceras, Phylloceras etc). Close to 7 cm in length and mostly crushed on the other side. Is this a turritella or could the shape and rings belong to a cephalopod? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Found a rather large and partially well preserved ammonite in ammonitico rosso dating early to middle Toarcian in the mountains of Epirus, Greece. Partially preserved because the other side was exposed and totally flattened. I am actually puzzled by the flattened state of the inner whorl as opposed to the outer whorl and center which appear intact. The shine is due to the paralloid-acetone mix i coated the specimen with, to prevent further deterioration. Would appreciate any suggestions to the species.
