'Huge' ammonite casting? Looks like turtle shell?

I've been pondering this for a year. Any help with an ID?

 

From mid-cretaceous Duck Creek formation in west Tarrant County, TX, US.  Large pentagonal sutured surface pattern. Found in an extensive construction excavation.

 

The segment arc section would make a huge ammonite and atypical in the formation. Typical 'large' ammonites >3-4' diameter are common.
