I have to look where they are, this was about ten years ago or even longer, some are not at me but at relatives. I´ll look if I will find something. About a half year ago I was again near this region where we once found the large ammonites, because there was again road works. I was searching for several hours, but the only intact fossil I found at this place was a small mollusc shell. But I found a sadly very damaged ammonite in a large block of stone which was about 40cm in diamter, and I believe it was even not complete.
There are at some places in this region very much ammonites, and some spectacular fossils were found not far away from here, for example the ichthysaur-fossil with embryos from Holzmaden.
I visit often the paleonthological and geological museum in Tübingen, a comparably small but very interesting museum, which contains several world-famous fossils. Here´s a link where you can see some pictures: http://www.uni-tuebingen.de/geo/gpi/sammlung/museum/pal.html
When I visit it at the next time, I´ll made some pictures of the nice cephalopods, in general I am more interested in the exhibited vertebrates. They have also a really giant ammonite with a diameter of more than one metre, but I think it comes from the USA. They have also some wonderfull fossils of cephalopods which shows even the hooks of the arms, similar fossils are in the Löwentormuseum Stuttgart.
I can still remember that I was once in France at a students-exchange and we made an excursion in a mountainous region. There were was a brook, and there were also many ammonites, some of them in the range of 20-30cm, perhaps bigger, but I could take only some smaller ones at home.
