Description from the seller

Particularly attractive is the natural metallic gold- to bronze-colored pyritization. The strong ribbing as well as several inner whorls are clearly visible on both sides. Small sandstone, shell, and pyrite remnants were left on the fossil.
On the ammonite there is a pyritized shell and a further small ammonite.
