Description from the seller

Ammonite fossil Esericeras Eseri composed of shell and original matrix.
Professional preparation from all angles. No part of the fossil was left 'in the rock.'
The suture lines in this specimen are very pronounced and fascinating, as they feature a double coloration; in some areas of the shell, they are traced, while in others, they are raised.
The coloration of the fossil is predominantly in shades of red, with some brown and black areas.
A very special coloration combined with the craftsmanship of the matrix, which literally acts as a pedestal for the Ammonite, makes this specimen a valuable collector's item.
Fossil originating from Lyon, France, where it is possible to find specimens of the highest quality.

Dimensions: 200 x 195 x 42 mm
Weight: 1825 g

Seller's Story

The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements. Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past". All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
