Hello,
My name is Andrew and I'm student taking my first geology class. One of my labs requires us to do research on a rock/fossil that was randomly assigned to us. I have identified mine to be an Ammonite and now my professor would like to know both its age and species. He also would like for me to find information on their orientation when they are fossilized as this one died on its edge. (I have already told my professor about this website and he is perfectly fine with me asking you guys for help.)
I am going to attempt to attach 4 different pictures that I have taken to help in the identification. The fourth picture is a good shot of the septa which it is my understanding should help with the identification. The suture marks are visible in several of the other shots. I have not been able to identify the siphuncle at this point, but perhaps you guys might be able to help me with that.
Thank you,
Andrew
