Hi, I was just wondering if anyone could identify this fossil we found in Hungary near Lake Balaton (see attached picture). As an additional info we found the fossil at a known location to find Ammonoid fossiles belonging to the genus Balatonites.

Took advantage of a break from the early wintry weather to go play in my fossil pit out back (London, Ontario), and came upon this. I'm sure this will be a cinch to identify, but i'm drawing a blank. It has ribbing reminiscent of an ammonite, but this was found in the Dundee Fm, Mid-Devonian, so too old for that. Ammonoids from around these parts don't tend to have ribbing like this, nor the appearance of nodes. I was thinking some kind of coiling gastropod. Too large and flat to be a Paleozygopleurid. If it is a gastro, I know how tough they can be to identify from a steinkern, but I thought I'd give it a go. As I'm one of the few on here who have access to Dundee Fm deposits, perhaps it is reminiscent to a similar Devonian formation where one of you collects. Does this seem familiar to anyone? Sadly, try as I might, I couldn't locate any other pieces from this rock, so this is all I have to go on.
