Crucilobiceras on elegant stand, a pyritized ammonite specimen from the Jurassic, with natural condition and no restoration.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful specimen of a pyritized ammonite of the genus Crucilobiceras, from the Lower Jurassic of England.
While this species is usually small, this particular ammonite measures 4.4 cm, making it exceptionally large for the genus and thus highly desirable.
The fossil sits in its original matrix, which enhances the metallic luster of the pyrite and gives it a completely natural appearance. The preservation of sutures and whorls is excellent, making this piece both scientifically significant and aesthetically striking.
Species: Crucilobiceras sp.
Age: Lower Jurassic (~190 million years)
Locality: England
Ammonite size: 4.4 cm (unusually large for the species)
Matrix: original, natural, size 13cm.
Nice metal display included.
Condition: excellent, no restoration
A rare example due to its large size and fine preservation – a true collector’s fossil.
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.
