xraymike79 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 This is a 23cm Phylloceras ammonite whose shelled has been removed to reveal the intricate suture pattern beneath. The stand is custom made out of steel(very heavy), then powder-coated with hammertone silver paint. Early Jurassic–Late Cretaceous Age range: 235.0 to 66.043 Ma Tulear in southern Madagascar 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max-fossils Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Beautiful!!! It would actually be a perfect specimen to add to the thread I just created here Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

SailingAlongToo Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I must have misunderstood. I thought this absolutely gorgeous specimen was being auctioned off to benefit TFF. I was getting ready to put a comma in my bid. That thing is S-W-E-E-T!!!! Don't know much about history Don't know much biology Don't know much about science books.........
