Hello, I almost die, when I was extracting this ammonite from wall of abandoned limestone quarry. So, that's my very first stone preparation, of 200 mm (7,8") ammonite (Perisphinctes), which I found near my hometown - Kraków, Poland. OK, I know, it's not so big, but the largest I have ever found. As You can see I got carried away, so it's half natural specimen, and half carving. Preparation I done with Dremel Engraver and some chisels I made from old files. I enjoyed it well

Acanthoteuthis speciosa Wagner in Muenster, 1839
oilshale posted a fossil in Coleoids (Belemnites, Squid)
Acanthoteuthis is now considered as a member of the Belemnotheutida, a suborder of the Belemnitida. The ink sack suggests that this species lived not deeper than 200m.
