A wonderful "one off" fossil which was discovered in Sherborne in the early 1980's and initially prepared by a German collector where it has remained until recently. The piece exhibits a Normannites complete with both lappets leaning over a Stephanoceras humphriesianum (Microconch and Macroconch ammonites), incredibly rare to discover them together. Many hours has gone into re-preparing the whole piece by Andy Cowap. Fossils Direct are constantly striving to bring to our customers old and new, the very finest fossils from around the United Kingdom. One for the collector of rare and aesthetic ammonites. Approximately 170 million years old.
A superb example of this uncommon Oolithic ammonite. The specimen is matrix free and has an immaculate centre. This ammonite will make a very good aquasition for the collector. Approximately 168 million years old.
A fantastic and totally unique display piece which was discovered on the famous Black Ven area. Mary Anning used to patrol this exact location over 200 years ago looking for fossils. The main ammonite is wonderfully preserved with lots of colours, an immaculate centre and a complete mouth border. Next to the larger ammonite lies a Xipheroceras planicosta and a above is another Asteroceras which has been predated upon probably by a small Ichthyosaur or predatory fish. The matrix has a cut and level base for upright display. A very aesthetic piece of stone, approximately 200 million years old.
Again, another super multi-ammonite piece which is highly aesthetic. The ammonites have been preserved in solid calcite with immaculate centres and also a small piece of fossilised wood is preserved which adds to the overal aesthetics. Approximately 200 million years old, a unique piece for the collector.
