Recently I bought an Ammonites. The seller told me that it came from Morocco and looking at its appearance, coloration and morphology I deduced that it came from Agadir, typical of the Ammonites of the place. It's evident that the center has been partially or totally sculpted, but the size of the specimen and the remains of other Ammonites in the matrix convinced me to buy it.

 

These Ammonites are sold everywhere, it's a shame that there is almost no information about the species to which they belong. There are any Ammonite expert that can identify the genus or species of my Ammonites? I also noticed some black spots, I don't know if they are cross sections of Ammonites or mineral concretions. Does anyone know what they are?

 

If you want more photos or information, ask it!

Probably Mantelliceras, although it looks like the inner whorls have been carved out. I'm also seeing a belemnite in the matrix.
