Crann Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Found this today, looks similar to a Tenuicostatum as many ribs and very close together but very large in comparison, found on Yorkshire coast, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Prodactylioceras is a good ID.

andreas Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Lytoceras sp. I think, would fit better from size, mode of coiling and rib structure 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, would fit better from size, mode of coiling and rib structure I can also see that as a possibility, but there is no indication of the typical fimbriation on the ribs, which makes me still lean towards Prodactylioceras. I also see what you mean about the mode of coiling, but Prodacty is also extremely evolute. Maybe a shot of the whorl breadth would help, since L. is wider than P.

Please post your ammonite in a separate thread under Fossil ID once the photo posting problem has been resolved. No need to hijack this thread. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.
