En fouillant un peu sur le web, on trouve pas mal d'exemples d'anomalies d'H. bifrons. Espèce fragile?
Ici un article de L. Rulleau: https://www.geopaleo.com/telechargements/spiraleVZ/VZ-48.pdf
Ici, un H. bifrons qui a un ventre atypique: http://www.ammonites.fr/Fiches/0539.htm. Ca rappelle les anciennes Monestieria...
Ou encore une face bifrons et une face lusitanicum: https://sciencepress.mnhn.fr/sites/default/files/articles/pdf/g2002n4a3.pdf
Howarth (Hilldoceratidae de Grande Bretagne, 1992,) mentionne cette "fragilité" du genre:
"Species of Hildoceras were particularly prone to abnormal growth, and it is possible that more abnormal examples of H. bifrons have been figured than of any other species of ammonite. Although rare abnormal individuals occur anywhere in the stratigraphical and geographical range, they are especially common at some horizons and localities. Guex (1967, p. 333) found that abnormal H. bifrons were commonest near the top of its range in the upper part of the Bifrons Zone in Aveyron, SE France. This is above the ‘acme’ of the species, and is where H. bifrons is declining in abundance. The most common type of abnormality involves displacement of the keel on to one side of the whorl, and many such obviously “distorted” specimens have been figured (e.g. the Whitby specimen figured by Buckman 1918a, pl. 114B). A more remarkable specimen is one from Trent, north Dorset, figured by Buckman (1928a, pl. 773A), where one side is a perfect//, bifrons, the opposite side is an almost perfect H. laticosta, the venter is normal, and there are no signs of distortion, injury or other abnormality anywhere else on the ammonite (Pl. 37, fig. 9). These two “specifically different” sides of the same specimen extend from the smallest whorl preserved at about 15 mm diameter up to the aperture which is still septate at 73 mm diameter."
