Big ol' ammonite chunk

Recommended Posts

I found this ammonite chunk a few days ago in my backyard, and I was wandering what species it is. There are some fossil snail imprints and some other small fossil imprints on this ammonite chunk. There is also a swirl or some kind of shape on the side of the ammonite if anyone can identify that.

I can't really argue against this being an ammonite, but I'll be impressed if the ID goes further.

I think the "swirl" is an eroded opening to one of the inner chambers of the ammonite. 

As Rockwood said, probably not enough detail for a positive ID.
