Nandomas Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) An unidentified ammo from Greece. Triassic. That's all the dealer knew. Can anyone enlighten me please It comes from Epidaurus, Peloponnesus. The Triassic stage is the border between Ladinic and Anisic. I am working for the ID, but I have not with me all literature I need. Please be patient and I will help you.

markhero Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 From these pictures it does not appear that this sample is from Epidaurus or from any other Greek site.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreas Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I doubt on the Triassic age of this ammonite. My first intentions say Jurassic but I cannot help you with species id. The matrix doesn't look like Epidauros too and the suture is a bit Lytoceras like and at all too ammonitic. :Just saw this is a very old post 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Just a guess really, but this looks a lot like an upper Cretaceous Kitchinites (Neopuzosia) to me. These are known from a number of sites around the Pacific basin, including Japan (Hokkaido), California, and British Columbia (Vancouver Island). Probably other places as well. I could guess at Hokkaido for the source, but that really is just a guess. Looks different (rounder whorl section) from the ones I have seen from Vancouver Island.

markhero Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 For sure not related to any Greek fossil site. I also see a pecten on the same matrix, similar to Cretaceous Neithea sp.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pemphix Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 As already said, this looks not like triassic ladinic / anisic fossil of epidauros. Usually the fossils there can be find in typical red limestones. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF02536854 And the species seems not belonging to any triassic fauna of cephalopodes known from this location/area: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/242169084_Cephalopods_distribution_in_the_southern_Aegean_Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
