AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is a heavily pyritized Pleuroceras ammonite fossil collected near Forcheim, Germany.
It's Jurassic, Pliensbachian stage or approximately 185 million years old. You can feel the heft of the iron pyrite in the specimen when you hold it in your hand.
Please note, that the ammonite has been brushed with a wire brush to give it a more golden brilliant shine. Despite being pyritized their natural color when found is much duller.
Ammonites are extinct mollusks that resembled a squid with a shell. These cephalopods had eyes, tentacles, and spiral shells. They were one of the dominant life forms in the ocean during the Mesozoic era but went extinct along with the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
Ammonite is 33 mm.
Glued on matrix.
Seller's Story
Don & Donna Fossils finally moved to Spain.
We are a Don & Donna Fossils, a couple united by the love of exploration, field research, professional preparation and museum display of fossils from all over the world.
This formula, combined with a desire to improve, makes us a winning team dedicated to our Fossil World.
Larisa is been passionate about fossils since was a child. Her strengths are perfectionism, perseverance and creativity, hence her ability to work and prepare these fossils as authentic, unique and aesthetic as possible. The pieces with which she is famous and which she boast the most are spiny ammonites.
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.
