Orbit smaller than in other Aeduellidae. Dermosphaenoticus touching nasalia. Canal supraorbitalis penetrating dermopteroticus in form of pit line. Postero-inferior angle of maxilla not conspicuous. Suture between operculum and suboperculum straight. Probably only one branchiostegus ray. Mandible high along entire length. Dorsal fin inserted posteriorly.

Hello again, Here another fossil that I bought at the same time as the shell in the previous topic. It's an ammonite coming from Rom, near Tours, in France; and the age of it is around 185mya (Pliensbachien stage of the early Jurassic). The seller did noot know what species it was exactly, but he was thinking of possibly Harpoceras sp. If yes, then what species of Harpoceras is it? If no, what is it then? Best regards, Max

Hello all, As each year i made my trip to Troyes and her albian layers in Champagne. On the first day, we decided to head to a first exposure on the bank o the lake. We didnt find much : a few small ammonites, gastropods, bivalves and corals ..... also a few crab fragments, but definitly not much to brag about.... Most of the spot was covered by a layer of dead waterweed, hiding everything. After a quick meal we decided to head to spot 2, another spot by the lake. At second spot, it was even worst : the whole exposure was buried under dry weed. Since there was not much reason to keep on we decided to call it for the day ....with a very very poor loot. On second day i headed alone to our third spot, harder to reach. After a quite long walk in the mud, i reached the exposure. That one was totally free from weed. The spot was very rich. 90 % of the stuff i collected were crustacean parts. Actually the only intersting stuff... but very interesting As a teaser, here come a group view of a part of the etyus martini carapaces i found. The most abundant crustacean of the day. Stopping it for today, to be followed a trip in the numerous species of crustaceans i was able to find.... See you soon

I am hoping someone can help ID this ammonite I bought at a recent gem fair in Santa Rosa. The seller said it was a pyritized ammonite from France but didn't know anything more about it. (He had bought it from a seller from Romania and language was a barrier.) My best guess it is it is a microconch specimen from the Harpoceras genus but the growth lines aren't as sharply sickle shaped as the textbook examples I have seen. (Would you call these ribs "falcate" or "falcoid"? They look somewhere in between to me.) Also note the repeating squiggly lines running along the sides. Are these suture lines or are they artifacts of the pyritization (?) process? Thanks for your help!
