Bobby Rico Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I am definitely not sure but I have found some beautiful sphaeroceras in my time. Maybe we have to call the man on this one. @Ludwigia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I'm also not quite sure on these two, although I believe that they belong to the same genus. The first one is at any rate not a Sphaeroceras. If anything, then they are both a fine-ribbed species of Emileia (check out the spelling here). Makes you wonder about the correctness of the given stratigraphy if the finder couldn't even spell one of the genus names correctly. 3 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Thanks for your attempts to help the collector whose collection these came from (recognisable from the labels) was well versed in species/stratiagraphy and had large collections from these dorset localities so i feel the original labels are right. however, they have been passed around online a bit so its possible that the labels got mixed up so i'm not sure whether to trust the labels especially after the glaring identification error, would an identification be possible with certain camera angles that i didnt take? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossils-uk Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Likely both are Emileia cf. brocchi 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't do better than I already have, and Byron seems to agree with me. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.
