Description from the seller
Specimen of Metalegoceras, a genus of ammonite with a distinctly spiral shell, originating from the Devonian period. The fossil, found in the Timor region of Indonesia, is still in its original matrix. The shell is characterized by a narrow, flat spiral, typical of this species. The size and morphology of this specimen provide valuable information about the paleobiological diversity and environmental conditions of the Devonian in this geographic area.
