    Limestone mold with phragmocone and part of the body chamber. The sutures are strongly pronounced on this specimen. The green color is the result of a fine layer of glauconite, an iron compound found often in sediments.

    Glad you like it. It's the best one of that species that I have in my opinion.

    I don't agree with the above.

    The indistinct suture,the general preservation,it is all of it a bit too run of the mill for my taste. 

    You might want to donate that specimen to a good cause.

    (I am CEO of a registered charity,BTW)

    All perisphinctids and oppelliids are ugly,at least that's what it says on the T-shirt I'm wearing
