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.
This beautiful solid calcite example has nearly all of its spines preserved and an immaculate centre. The matrix has a flat base for upright display purposes. Also above the Xipheroceras lies a Promicroceras sp with a predatory bite mark taken out of it. A lovely piece for the collector which is approximately 200 million years old.
This very nice example is uncommon from this locality. The ammonite has been prepared and left on a small piece of matrix which also has a cut base for upright display. Most of the fossil sites around this area are no longer accessible to collectors, so in the future, these quality ammonites are going to become real collectors items! Approximately 180 million years old.
