1.5" Discoscaphites Gulosus Ammonite - South Dakota

These is a 1.5" wide Discoscaphites gulosus ammonite cluster from the Fox Hills Formation of South Dakota. The ammonite has been prepared free from the concretion it was found in.

These 70 million year old ammonites lived when South Dakota was a shallow inland sea. It was found preserved in a concretion that was split open. It then had to be hand prepared to remove the hard rock surrounding it from the shell, a very time consuming task.
