Hi everybody! :)

 

Today i wanna show you one of my dearest ammonites...Choffaticeras segne!

Making a search by keywords in TFF, i found only three results for this species...so i decided to enlarge the number!

Now i present you my Choffaticeras segne: it comes from Goulmima in Morocco, belongs to Turonian (Upper/Late Cretaceous), it is 19cm in height and 1.461kg in weight.

This specimen has been polished in both sides, obviously. It's very decorative and it makes its good looking part in my living room.

I love its external sutures, how do you call this kind of suture in english? Please, let me know!

For who loves taxonomy and scientific classification (like me), i leave you a little pattern that i made.

Thanks for "watching" ;)

Unfortunately, I can't add more photos...maybe are too heavy... :SadSmile: I would like to show you the ventral and frontal views...
