And my last ,Amber fever,Albian of Archingeay(with few cenomanian rocks)

In the cenomanian rocks

Aptychus or shell?

[Ludwigia]

Nice finds, Gery! It's hard to say if that last one is Aptychus or not without a view from the side. Does the edge overlap or is it flat?

[nala]

Thanks Roger ,the edge overlap,
