abyssunder Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Hello, The locality name "Solnhofen" refers to the Solnhofen basin or the lagerstatte. It's not the locality name like Eichstatt, Hienheim, Brunn, Zandt, etc. It will be difficult to ID your specimen without the exact name of where it was found. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Ahh sorry about that and thanks for the help picked it up today from the local shop but the guy never had a species on it so maybe that explains why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I'm a big fan of the Solnhofen lithographic limestone plate fossils and I have hundreds of plates, including ammonites. Please wait the experts opinion from that area. Here's a link that may help you: https://www.solnhofen-fossilienatlas.de/search.php 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
