The 2nd mystery fossil is also from the southern part of France. It's a black fossil, slightly curved with 10 ammonite like "lobes". To me it always looked like a part of a heteromorph ammonite.

It measures 4 x 2,5 cm.

That looks like a reasonable ID of this fragment, but it would be nice to know if the rocks are of the proper age since heteromorph ammonites only lasted through part of the Mesozoic.

There's no doubt in my mind that this is a piece of a heteromorph ammonite. Pity you have no information as to its provenance. Then perhaps the possibilities could be narrowed down.
