1.85" Iridescent Silver Ammonite (Beudanticeras) Fossil - Canada

This is a 1.85" fossil ammonite (Beudanticeras affine) from the Peace River Formation of Alberta, Montana. This comes out of an old collection of ammonite fossils we recently acquired including many from unusual locations that you can no longer get material from.

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.
