fifbrindacier Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) Hi everybody, i need help to identify that Oxfordian Perisphinctidae i found yesterday in a quarry of Charente, South-West of France. I think it could be a Zigzagceratinae indosphinctes, but that's only a supposition. I also thought it could be a choffatia, but i don't know if they can be that big (an important part of it is lacking) as you can see on the second pic with my friend's hand as scale. The scale on the first pic is in inches. Thank you for your help. Edited April 14, 2022 by fifbrindacier 2 "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

It is situated between Ruffec and Aigre. From the edge of the whorl towards the center there is six centimeters, the ventral zone is about 2,5 centimeters wide. There are about four fine ventral costulations (without nor bifurcation nor interruption) between each radial costulation. I measured the upper part of the whorl and found it was 17 centimeters wide. I think that you can add 6 centimeters to find it's size at it's widest part. I've taken a photo of the broken part to show what shape it has. Tell me if you need more information. I found some corals at the same level. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
