Ammonite from Gem and Mineral Show

Recommended Posts

Good morning, afternoon or evening.  Last weekend I purchased an Ammonite at a gem and mineral show in Conroe, Texas.  The seller indicated that it was from France, but had no other information.  Could anyone help me ID the ammonite from the attached pictures?  I'm thinking that it's something like Harpoceras sp. but that's a Google pictures guess.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

 

Thanks!

Good guess. I'd call it Harpoceras falciferum.

Thanks!  It's what I was thinking.  I just wanted a second, more knowledgeable opinion.
