Tidgy's Dad Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Not Orthoceras if this is the standard one from Morocco which this seems to be.

Tidgy's Dad Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Probably Temperoceras ludense as this is by far the most common, though the size and shape of this one also resemble Sphooceras truncatum.

M3gal0don_M4n Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 And Temperoceras ludense also appears incorrect due to the fact that the size and shape are different.
