Nadav Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Found in the levant on a slope with a lot of material spreading from the cenomanian to the Eocene. Can you help me with the ID? I thought it can be some kind of a gastropod but I know there are similar heteromorph ammonites in this shape as well. Any help would be appreciated.

Ludwigia Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I'm inclined to suggest that this is a cretaceous heteromorph ammonite, although I'm not completely certain and couldn't suggest a name without more specific info on its provenance. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Ludwigia Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Sorry I can't help you any more than I already have. The GPS location doesn't help much further either, since you already mentioned that this was found lying on a slope, so I assume it was weathered out. Your best bet would be to search for scientific papers on your site and study them. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.
