Macrostrat (https://macrostrat.org/map/#/z=8.2/x=35.0913/y=31.5119/bedrock/lines/) indicates the area around Jerusalem is Late Cretaceous but no formation name is given. If you haven’t already determined the name of the formation, that would be my first step. The coordinates you provided appear to be a residential area west of Jerusalem, so its not clear if thats where it was found. For what its worth, your find reminds me of the cephalopods I have found in the Ordovician Maquoketa Formation in Iowa, USA (https://www.myfossil.org/dwc-specimen/77273/). Incidentally, the area to the southeast of the Dead Sea has been mapped to Cambrian-Ordovician.
that’s super helpful! thank you @patrick-hsieh
You’re welcome! If that is helpful to you, then my only request is that you help us out by filling out the information fields to the best of your ability. You should be able to fill out the location (country, municipality) and field notes (collector, collection date, field notes) at the least.
