Cleoniceras ID

[Izan]

A few years ago I bought this Ammonite in a fossil convention, but I don't know the specie. Somone can help me? Thank you.

The true answer is quite muddled.

Retailers have been selling these as Cleoniceras sp., and Cleoniceras cleon, for a long time. They were first described in 1897,

 

 

 

 

and while some work has been done on the taxonomy as seen above, some of the research is unsupported by evidence.

 

 

So, for me, I would personally label this Cleoniceras sp.
