Peter Ryder Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Found this on the foreshore at Kettleness yesterday (where incidentally there were far less fossils than I have ever seen there a dozen times or more) As anyone any idea what species it is? Apart from this only a couple of the usual Dactilyoceras Peter Ryder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWGeoFan Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 My guess is Hildoceras bifrons "I am going to dig up dinosaurs whether they are liquid or solid" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from this only a couple of the usual Dactilyoceras Peter Ryder Very nice that, not an Hildoceras, I was down Kettleness last Saturday, walked from port to Kettleness but tide was coming in fast by the time we got there, need a photo of the keel if you can, those ribs look different/special, cheers, Alan.

Ludwigia Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I must say, I'm really stumped on this one. Never seen a Yorkshire Lias ammonite quite like this. @TqB What do you think?

abyssunder Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Maybe Grammoceras cf. thouarsense ?

I don't think so. @Peter Ryder Please show us a view of the keel (venter) That would be helpful. I think what's confusing is that it appears to have an anomaly on the last few ribs.

Miocene_Mason Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 A perplexing ammo indeed!

Never seen a Yorkshire Lias ammonite quite like this. @TqB What do you think? I'm not very good on ammonites but this does look odd and highly involute - also maybe pathological in the outer whorl as you suggest. It's very small so may be a nucleus of something not so strange, like a Hildaites (maybe levisoni). And Kettleness also includes extensive Middle Lias exposures so it would be very helpful to know the horizon. And a keel (venter) shot is vital! 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
