Thanks ever so much for the picture Kevin. The endocones are really clear. I'm flabbergasted at exactly how wide the siphuncle is, I certainly did not expect to see that. All the pictures of the siphuncle I've seen in ammonoids tend to be much, much smaller in ratio to the diameter of the shell, so this was a surprise.
What an interesting solution to the problem of counterbalancing weight and bouyancy whilst maintaining stability.
