    Trying to emulate this shape

      Hi I am trying to emulate this shape.

       

      outer-circle.jpg

       

      I have tried drawing it in using the pen tool but as you can see it didnt turn out so good.

       

      I then tried drawing 2 ellipses with the Ellipse Tool and sent the smaller ellipse to the back and then with both selected tried minus back which got me the following message "The filter produced no results.  Please select one or more filled paths."

      Even if I did get this part to work, I had little to no idea how I was going to break the bottom part of the ellipse up to be like the above image.  I was thinking of using the path eraser tool and then the pen tool.

       

      I would really appreciate some advice from all you illustrator geniuses
