1.9" Permian Ammonite (Uraloceras) Fossil - Russia

This is a 1.9" wide fossil ammonite (Uraloceras complanatum) that was collected from the Lower Permian deposits in the Ural Mountains of Russia. It has been exposed from the rock it was found in, revealing the incredible pattern of the inner shell sutures. An additional, smaller ammonite has been exposed from the rock as well.

It comes with an acrylic 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.
