Nice find an welcome to the Forum ! :yay-smiley-1:

It's an ammonite belong to Hildoceratidae family (try to compare with Protogrammoceras nitescens).

+1 for partial ammonite. But it reminds me more of an arietite instead of an Hildoceratidae

growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

Yes, TQB...I researched and makes more sense Coroniceras, because of the rectilinear ribs that finished in pronounced ventral "nodules" that we can't find in Hildoceratidae family.Also, Protogrammoceras is more laterally compressed.
