Help - Vertebrae found at Lyme Regis

[SimonF]

Hi, I found this amongst rocks near the water at Lyme Regis beach in 2004. I assumed icthyosaurus but the curvature seems extreme for one. So if anyone can shed light on what this is, would be most appreciated as it's my most precious and largest creature find. Thanks in advance.

That is not a vertebra, rather an extremely weathered part of the inner whorls of a large ammonite. The curvy structures are what used to be the septal walls of the phragmocone

Thanks for the reply, that makes sense,

Hi,

 

You don't have to remove the pics ! This subject is from now on without interest and allows any more person to learn no anything. Then put back them fast !
