5.8" Fossil Ammonite (Psiloceras) Cluster - Holderness Coast, England

This is a 5.8" wide cluster of Lower Jurassic Psiloceras ammonites from the Holderness Coast in East Yorkshire England.

There are over twenty ammonites ranging from .4 to 1.75 inches across preserved within a concretion. It was painstakingly prepared with mechanical tools to expose all of the ammonites in high relief.

This piece comes out of the collection of the late Jeff Mulroy, a renown collector and preparitor of Yorkshire fossils.

Comes with a 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.
