-Andy- Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I've been looking for a lovely SD ammonite for awhile, and I consider them on par with Canadian ammolites. There are a plethora of incredible specimens from Fox Hills Formation, and I settled on a Jeletzkytes as I found their shape appealing. Imagine my delight when I chanced upon a positive + negative! Today, this pair is one of my favorite ammonites. Without the matrix base, it measures roughly 4.6 inches high. Jeletzkytes nebrascensis 70.6 - 66 mya (late Cretaceous) Fox Hills Formation South Dakota, USA Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Very nice. But it looks like it's coated with something - too bad, I could see it being reglued and prepped out from the negative side and the shell reunited with the main body, by someone with the means/skill/ambition.
