AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An attractive and completely natural double Asteroceras sp. ammonite specimen, preserved together on its original limestone matrix and collected from the famous Charmouth area of Dorset, Jurassic Coast, United Kingdom.
The specimen contains two Asteroceras ammonites, naturally preserved on the same slab.
Both specimens display strong, well-defined radial ribbing and excellent three-dimensional relief, with the characteristic robust morphology of this Lower Jurassic ammonite genus.
The dark brown to bronze fossilized shells contrast beautifully with the light-coloured limestone matrix, producing a particularly attractive natural display.
Both ammonites and the matrix are completely natural. No reconstruction, restoration, artificial enhancement or added material has been applied.
The specimen is supplied with a custom-made display support, allowing it to be presented upright and securely displayed.

Seller's Story
I, Don, started fossil hunting in 1987, going from a passionate collector to a professional preparator and researcher. In all these years I have traveled searching for fossils in many parts of the world.
Our fossils are present in private collections in the United States, Singapore, Taiwan, as well as in prestigious museums in the Uk, China and Japan.
Quality in the preparation of the material and seriousness in managing the shipment in the best possible way distinguish us.
