    One of the best preserved and complete ammonites I have ever found. The shell is perfectly intact as well as the lappets. This is the microconch to Stephanoceras sp.

    Thanks, Herb. Dunno if you remember, but this one won the FOTYear back in 2013.

    Hard to believe it's even a fossil, looks like the little critter was only recently evicted. 

     

    Textbook perfect!
