Ammonite or something else?


Mantelliceras

Recommended Posts

Hi I found this the other day in a jurassic/cretaceous formation in valencia (spain) but I,m not sure if it's a worn out ammonite or something else. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help! :)

it came from inside a rock like this one, as you can see there are pseudogrammoceras and other marine fossils:

It might, it also might be a gasteropode.

Could you post some images of the sides of both pieces. 

It's the same piece, here are some more pics of it:

Yes, looks like an ammonite top left photo. It's a bit difficult to see from the pictures but I think you may have some bone and coprolite. In the UK is Aust and we get similar chunks of 'stuff' or bone bed. 

 

Can you take photos any closer which are sharp and outside where the lighting will be better?
