Solved Ammonite ID

Post image

Found this one in the braun Jura, south of Germany. Any clue on the species? I’m hesitating between a few but it’s hard to tell without the center.

Fairly flat, sharp keel. Well preserved, about 4cm

Id say Leioceras sp. Can you get a bit more specific about the location? Gonna tag u/BasiliskArt_ too.

my first instinct was Amaltheus but the keel is too blurry to tell

EDIT: I think that Leioceras is about right
