Creek - Don Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) My first Metengonoceras dumbli ammonite at the Walnut formation. Although not complete, I've been searching this species of ammonite for many years. Plenty of Oxy's, but never ever found this one. This one measures around 4.5 inches / 114.3 mm.

Ludwigia Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Congrats! It sure is a satisfying feeling, isn't it, even though it's not perfect. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erose Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Ammonites offer that one advantage: all you need for a good identification is visible sutures…nice find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, one less removed from my bucket list! 12 hours ago, erose said: Ammonites offer that one advantage: all you need for a good identification is visible sutures…nice find. Exactly, especially this one. Sutures pattern are very unique to this species. Edited January 1, 2022 by Creek - Don 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
