Ammonite fragments ID


DatFossilBoy

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

Today I went hiking with my friend at 3000m+,

The location I went hiking in is very near a place where I heard you can find ammonites and belemnites.

I pulled this rock out of a boulder with many layers of slate in and found a partial piece of an ammonite.

I was wondering if anyone out there can recognise the specie and the period?

I found it in Switzerland, near a Glacier called « Plaine Morte »

The first 2 pictures is the one I found and the second 2 is the one my friend gave to me (which he had found less than a km away from that location)

Any help would be welcome :) 

Thanks so much! (Tell me if you need more pics)

I can not really help. To me that are parts of heteromorph ammonites. But I have no clue of exact age and species. I think Cretaceous age is for sure. Doushantuo is probably close with Aptian.

Stumbled upon this post while looking up some info for a friend of mine (@lk_art_account on Instagram, to whom you apparently gave a cool fossil bivalve, @DatFossilBoy;) ). Anyways, I may be really bad with ammonite ID, but I did find this paper which could definitely be helpful to you. I believe this is the paper from where @doushantuo got his picture from. I believe you should find most of the info you need in there!

Omg! That’s awesome.

What a detailed article! 

I have to look more into it because it is really hard to tell for sure due to the fragments being really worn.

Thank you so much!
