What Kind Of Ammonite Is This?

Hey TFF,

I bought this ammonite on matrix from a museum gift shop. Would you guys know what kind of ammonite this is? There are also other fossils around it. Would you guys also help me identify these fossils too?

Thanks!!

Looks like jurassic from England or Germany. Maybe one of the European members can confirm/deny this.

I think you may be right, may be English "Jet Rock" or German Posidonienschiefer. The ammonite would be Harpoceras or similar (difficult to tell when they're crushed) and the bivalve looks like Pseudomytiloides dubius.

Jurassic, lower Toarcian.

In my opinion the ammonite belong to the subfamily Harpoceratinae (included in Hildoceratidae family).About the bivalves, I agree with Tarquin.
