mommabetts Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 These heteromorphs were pretty weird , coiling took many forms. some may have hidden out in seaweed beds as ambush predators since they wouldn't have been very fast swimmershere is another German form Hyphantoceras an open spiral Now that is cool looking, that is what I like, the strange and unusual.

Eureka Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hi, mommabetts! I got it out from the matrix using another kind of chisel (smaller and different tip´s shape). Unfortunately, I can not post an extra pic of it..it is inside a wood box as I found it (not prepared yet). Eureka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pentarradio Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Beautiful ammonite, can't wait to see the others you have! Thanks, I will be adding some more. This one is a mold and counter mold of an ammonites without classifying, I believe that it corresponds to a juvenile form of an ammonites of the family of the Ancyloceras, if someone knows it, please I am grateful that I say it.

Eureka Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hi, Pentarradio! Nice piece. Perhaps a Idiohamites? Best regards from Spain, Eureka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pentarradio Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hi, Pentarradio!Nice piece. Perhaps a Idiohamites? Best regards from Spain, Eureka Hello Eureka, Thanks for your response, I have been comparing the two ammonites and they do not seem to me of the same kind, though morphologically they are similar, the Idiohamites has the thinnest and more nearby ribs between them. You prop the distribution estratigrafic, it seems to be between Albiense and Cenomaniense, while our specimen is of the Barremiens or as the very young, first part of the Aptiens, (sorry, I did not comment on it with the pic).

Eureka Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hi,Pentarradio Congratulations for the specimens. Regarding to the specimen,I find it very similar to the Hamites ammonites, but yours is older...let´s see if we find out what species would be. It was great talking to you.
