Hello everyone!

I found this ammonite yesterday in Valencia, Spain (as far as I know the strata in that mountain are Jurassic/Cretaceous). I would appreciate any help on identifying what kind of ammonite it is and if anyone could tell me what's the mineral shown on its surface.

Thanks for your help!

Could be a Macrocephalites, but I'd need a view of the venter and mouth aperture to confirm.

It's not very clear

Can't help with ID, but that's a nice looking ammonite! Great find!
