Mollusk fossil identification


Jose Rivera

Recommended Posts

Hello. 

A friend of mine showed me this fossil. He received it as a gift, so he doesn't know its origin. It seems to me to be an ammonite. Could you help me identify the species and its approximate age?

Thank you.

It is definitely an ammonite, but without knowing the location it will be hard to narrow it down much further. Knowing the length could help though
