Description from the seller
Beautiful large fossil specimen of a Nautiloid from the Albian period (Early Cretaceous).
Specimen of the species Cymatoceras characterized by a discoidal, spiral shell, with a cross section that varies from subcircular to subquadrate. Its whorls are flattened, with a slight depression on the upper part. The shell is ornamented with radial ridges and grooves that extend along the length of the spiral.
