Utera Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I'm currently trying to identify the genus of some of my ammonite fossils? I believe the two small specimens are Hildoceras and Gonaitite and the large specimen is of the genus Cleoniceras. But I do not know for sure. Can someone confirm or correct me on this?

caldigger Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 You are likely correct on the Cleoniceras. The other two look like they have been ground down on the sides, making ID rather painfully difficult. Can you take come closer focused pictures of them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utera Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 I don't have a camera, I only use my phone for these photos. I tried just now, but they aren't focusing so I probably can't get any better pictures. I apologize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Man are those things in bad shape. It's not just the photos. I believe I can recognize a goniatite on the left, but the one on the right is ground down to unrecognizeable, so you can forget about an id on that one. At least I can confirm the Cleoniceras.

Utera Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 I'm sorry guys. They're just so small and my camera will just not focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utera Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) But just out of curiosity, do you think that the Cleoniceras specimen is C. cleon or C. besairiei? Edited September 22, 2019 by Utera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance there, since the diagnostic sculpture has been sanded and polished away. Never heard of C.cleon anyway. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.
