Ammonite (Androgynoceras) Fossil In Concretion - England #279469

This is an absolutely beautiful, well prepared 4.2" wide ammonite (Androgynoceras lataecosta) fossil from The Green Ammonite Beds in Charmouth, England. It's surrounded by smaller ammonites of the same species, none of which required any restoration. One side of the specimen has been completely exposed from the hard concretion it was found in, creating this magnificent display piece.

Comes with a display stand.

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.
