Saltwick Bay Ammonite

[Beach Boy]

Found at Saltwick Bay Yorkshire Jurassic Coast

Could it be.

1 Pseudolioceras Lythense.

2 Ovaticeras ovatum.

Any help appreciated.

Dave.

Dave.... I think your right with Pseudolioceras but possibly not a Lythense... The centres are different on the Pseudolioceras types and I have a feeling yours is P. Subconcavum... The top edge is radiused going into the centre if it is P. Subconcavum... The P. lythense is quite square and the P. boulbiense has a very tight centre....If it is...Congratulations I dont see that many....

Pseudolioceras lythense, Pseudolioceras boulbiense, Pseudolioceras subconcavum...

Your fossils are a stunning example of prep and fossil quality thank you for sharing, you give us amateurs a prepping standard to aspire to.

Thanks as always for the id.

Dave... Thanks...I really like Pseudo's and these specimens have had many tweaks to improve them as my prepwork has developed and improved...You do get critical of your earlier efforts as you learn and gain confidence and repreps are a good idea to bring old fossils upto more recent standards... If I only ever had an hour spare I'd do a reprep rather than start something new...
