4.6" Jurassic Ammonite (Stephanoceras) Fossil - France

This is a beautiful, 4.6" wide Stephanoceras ammonite from Fresney, France. Most of the rock has been removed from his Jurassic-aged ammonite, with a portion of the outer ammonite spiral left intact.

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.
