Iridescent, Pyritized Ammonite Fossils - 1" to 1 1/4"
These are beautiful, ~185 million year old iridescent, pyritized ammonite fossils from the Dubki Clay Quarry in Saratov, Russia. They are approximately 1 1/10" in width though they will vary anywhere between 1" and 1 1/4". Most are of the genus Quenstedticeras though there are some other species mixed in.
The photos are representative of the ammonites you will receive but do not picture the exact specimens. Some of these specimens don't exhibit the same iridescent qualities as others due to a lack of preserved shell, however in these cases they will by completely pyritized.

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.
