Outstanding beautiful ammonite on matrix.

This is a 9,7 cm wide, Early Devonian ammonite (Anetoceras) collected near Tazarine, Morocco. 

Anetoceras is a primitive ammonoid cephalopod, named by O.H. Schindewolf, 1934, with a loosely coiled, prominently ribbed shell, that lived during the latter part of the early Devonian. Coiling is planar, such that whorls are close but not in contact. Ribs are narrow and widely spaced. 

The ammonites have been painstakingly prepared to expose it from the hard limestone that it was found in.

Comes with a metal display.
From Anti-Atlas Region, Morocco
Matrix is 12 x 10,5 cm

Ammonites were predatory cephalopod mollusks that resembled squids with spiral shells. They are more closely related to living octopuses, though their shells resemble that of nautilus species. True ammonites appeared in the fossil record about 240 million years ago during the Triassic Period. The last lineages disappeared 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous.
