Hi strandjutters,

the ammonite belongs definitely to the Hoplitidae, but as you´ve said the spines aren´t typical for Hoplites dentatus.

Taking a look at your photos, I guess it could be a Hoplites maritimus - you can compare it here: http://www.gaultammonite.co.uk/pages/Am ... itimus.htm
But I´m not a specialist on Albian fossils, but possibly the website is helpful for further identifications.

Best regards
