Présentoir complet 70mm vert et orange irisé Caloceras officiel ammonite fossile UK

A stunning example of an iridescent ammonite fossilof the speciesCaloceras johnstonifrom North Somerset, UK.

The matrix measures 132 mm (5.2 inches) across and the ammonite measures 70 mm (2.74 inches). The ammonite sits in the original limestone matrix in which it was found that has been shaped and has a cut-flat base to allow it to be displayed freely standing. The ammonite is very well preserved and has been prepared out of the rock to reveal the shell, which displays some beautiful iridescence that causes the colours to change as the viewing angle changes. There are green and orange hues in the shell, which are some of the rarest and most sought-after colours in these fossils. The fossil weighs 385 grams.

These fossils are highly sought after and hard to find, especially complete examples like this one. They are preserved in the same way as the famous Canadian "Ammolite" ammonites that are turned into valuable gemstones. These fossils make great unusual gifts and each one is totally unique.

Around 200 million years old (Hettangian, Early Jurassic), this fossil would make a wonderful addition to any collection.
