Ammonite help

Recommended Posts

Hey all, I picked up these 2 ammonites too cheap to leave but the seller had no provenance. 
Ammonites and their genera / species are not something I know much about but a little research suggests they might be from Madagascar

Can anyone tap in to their ammonite knowledge banks and help me out a bit?

The darker one has an obvious little restoration work on the shell

The other has a repair but overall they seem like really nice specimens

They both look like Dactylioceras Ammonites to me and I have had them exactly the same from Morocco so that is a good shout. They can be found all over the world but the sandy colour is Moroccan as far as I know!
