Max-fossils Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 @Tidgy's Dad sorry, I am only seeing your message now... You're right, Hypophylloceras seems to be a Cretaceous genus only! Ugh... I guess I'll keep them as indet. ... Thanks for the help! Max 1 Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

abyssunder Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I'm not an expert in ammonites, so I'm wondering why I can't see the deep 5-6 constrictions / whorl, characteristic for H. mediterraneum ?

I think because they are so small in diameter. The first constriction appears later at a greater diameter. I know this feature from constrictions on triassic ammonoids.
