1.1" Fossil Ammonite (Promicroceras) - Lyme Regis

This is a very beautifully agatized, 1.1" Promicroceras planicosta ammonite fossil, collected from Lyme Regis, England. It's almost translucent and has been nicely prepared so that it displays very well on the limestone slab.

Comes with an acrylic 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.
