Hi, I found these ammonite specimens in the Oxfordian Ammonitico Rosso facies from the Baleriac Islands, Spain. I know that the preservation state is quite poor but I would like to get some help identifyng the genus and species. I am not familiar with ammonite description but here you have a very basic description of what I see:

 

Specimen 1: No ribs, oxycone/discocone, involut, carinate?

Specimen 2 (Taramelliceras sp?): two pair of ribs (primary and secondary), oxycone/discocone, involut

Specimen 3: No ribs, discocone, carinate?

It is hard to make a determination of ID from such poorly preserved fragments.

Your best bet for IDs is to find a faunal list of the formation.

Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the preservation state of the specimens in this outcrop is quite similar to the ones shown in the previous images. I'm confident that some guess at genus level is possible, at least for specimens 2 and 3.
