A Cretaceous Marine Mollusk

The bivalves look like some kind Trigonia, and it looks like you have an ammonite there too though I can't ID it from what I see. Is that the same thing in your avatar?

Oh, thank you! I just looked up Trigonia spp.!

I think it may be. But it has a long extension to the distal shell tips, and a very thick, coiled umbo!

I'm hoping its a new species! The area I collected it is quite remote.

The ammonite is an asymmetric one with a loose coil. I haven't tried to key it out yet, but sure it is in the very extensive keys I have, and yes, it is the same as in my avatar!

I thank you greatly for your help!
