Crann Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Opened up a decent sized nodule to find this ammonite, not the usual I would come across and with nice markings, sadly the outer part had been crushed but managed to free the inner, I will remove the matrix from the centre later, I believe it could be an Oxynoticeras but not sure, any ideas ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crann Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Harpoceras perhaps ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Any chance of a keel shot and approximate location? Maybe Pseudolioceras? - but wait for one of the ammonite people... Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeschWhat Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I don't know much about ammonites, so forgive me. Is the kind of mineralization usual for ammonites in your area? In this chipped area looks somewhat translucent with phosphatic inclusions.

Hi, not really seen this before on the Ammonites I've collected, be amazing if was actual shell pattern but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking coprolites from scavengers that fed on the dead ammonite? But then again, I see coprolites in everything!

Ludwigia Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Could very well be Pseudolioceras. A keel shot would help determine. If it looks braided, then it could be Amaltheus.
