I found this ammonite in the Oxfordian Ammonitico Rosso from the Balearic Islands, Spain.
I would like to know the genus and the species if possible. I'm doubting between Phylloceras and Trimarginites.
I think its similar Calliphylloceras is an ammonite belonging to the Phylloceratidae.

Dear Josep
It looks very much like specimens I once collected from the Ammonitico rosso in the Apennines, Italy. I'm sure there is a lot of literature on the ammonites from there.
Apparently a phylloceratid, but for genus ID, analyses of the suture is necessary.
Thank you Ahmad S. Yasien Al-Gurairy , Robert P. Speijer and Christian Neumann for your response. Could you recommend me any specific literature about Phylloceratid suture patterns in order to further identify this specimen?
Maybe Holcophylloceras mediterraneum?
