First ever ammonite restoration

Here is my first ever ammonite prep! Overall, I am pleased with how it turned out. I wanted to test how well my shark tooth restro experience would translate to other fossils. I got this lovely ammonite as part of a trade with @Ludwigia. I misplaced its ID so any ID help would be welcome as well.

Dammit Matt, give me your skills. That ammonite restoration is just too good :envy:

If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!
