I saw this Madagascar ammonite on website and wonder hole(?) On its surface could be a bite mark. Actually, i've never seen bite mark like this but i looking forward to any new information about it.

 

Thanks.

It looks more like collecting damage to me. If it was a bite, the matrix would have filled the hole in. Also, whatever caused the hole appears to have pealed shell and matrix away from the "bottom" of it neaest to the umbilicus.

That might be a boring (trace fossil), in my opinion.

And I think there would be at least a few other less forceful marks by other teeth as well.
