Troodon Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hi Welcome to the forum. Looks likec you have a part of an ammonite. Maybe someone familiar with them can give you a Species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaforth Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Definately a partial ammonite! And a nice one at that! Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manticocerasman Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 +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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 +1 for partial ammonite. But it reminds me more of an arietite instead of an Hildoceratidae I agree, perhaps Coroniceras? Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guguita2104 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 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.
