"sucher pattern?" I really hope they mean "suture pattern," or else I had better go back to school...

'Sucher'; methinks that's what happens when a news story is dictated down the phone to a reporter unaware of the terminology. A photo of the offending ammonoid would have been nice, oh well.

20" (508mm) is a nice sized shell.

I wonder just how many fossils get hauled away from construction sites without anyone even realizing what they are?

Just found this. If there were whales there must have been cephs.
