This Emileia contrahens ammonite is one of my all-time favorites from the fauna out of the Early Bajocian. It was found in the Laeviuscula zone in the region around Sherborne, Dorset, GB. I recieved it unprepped along with some other raw material from a befriended British paleontologist who gave me the samples in exchange for some prep work which I was doing for him at the time. I figured I'd turn this into my next sketching project. The small ammo on the matrix at the bottom is an Euhoploceras modestum. And here's the original photo for comparison.

9.5cm. discites zone Early Bajocian Middle Jurassic From Beaminster, Dorset, UK -
A few weeks back I posted a report here about a nice little microconch that I got from my paleontologist friend in exchange for some prep work I'm doing for him. I recently recieved another parcel full of work and also some goodies for myself to be prepped. This time he included the macroconch to that little microconch for me. It took me a good 10 hours to get it prepped, since the matrix was pretty tough and there was also a lot of minerological and shell debris that could only be removed mainly with the air abrader at high pressure in an excruciatingly slow motion process, but now that it's done, I'm as pleased as punch, particularly since the shell is extremely well conserved on the one side and all of the spines came out intact. One can also see the end of the phragmocone clearly on the steinkern on the reverse side, which shows that this sample is almost completely full sized. It comes from the early Bajocian discites zone in the Beaminster area in Dorset, whereas the little one is from Sherborne and comes out of the next youngest laeviuscula zone, which shows that the species was around for a good few thousand years. And here's the pair together.
