8" Composite Plate Of Agatized Ammonite Fossils

This is an eye catching piece of fossil art. It is plate made from portions of real, agate replaced ammonite fossils which have been composited together in a resin. The ammonites are Late Jurassic in age, or approximately 160 million years old.

Please Note: The plate is not entirely flat and is convex in shape.

These ammonite fossils exhibit beautiful mineralization within the chambers, each separated by calcite scepta (divisions). Some of the chambers are preserved as crystal lined pockets that have been filled to allow for a smooth polish across the plate. This polished, exotic ammonite plate makes a nice vertical display piece with great historical appeal.

This specimen comes with an acrylic display stand.
