8" Jurassic Ammonite & Gastropod Cluster - Fresney, France

Here is a beautiful association of Middle Jurassic marine fossils, collected from Fresney, France. The entire piece measures 8 x 6.8" and includes a pair of Stephanoceras ammonites along with two types of gastropods. The limestone has been painstakingly worked to bring the fossils out in high relief and create a gorgeous display piece.

Comes with a display stand.

The tip of the gastropod has a repaired crack.

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.
