A beautiful aesthetic piece which has been fully prepared and was discovered in 1991. The matrix has a flat base for upright display. The Xipheroceras has sharp nodes around the shell's exterior. There is also small Promicroceras planicosta overalapping the Xipheroceras. Approximately 200 million years old.
A very nice double Xipheroceras fossil which is highly aesthetic and would make a lovely and totally unique 200 million year old display item for either the home or office space. Both ammonites have been preserved in solid calcite.
The quarries of Scunthorpe are now sadly closed and these wonderful ammonites are no longer to be found. This specimen is a cut half of a large, calcified Eparietites. The surface has been ground gem smooth and a high polish applied to reveal the beautiful internal chambers which have been filled by various shades of calcite. An exceptional polished ammonite section from this classic locality.
This large and beautifully preserved example was discovered in 1987 and has remained in the same collection ever since. Very tight restrictions have been implemented on fossil collecting from this famous locality. The ammonite has been prepared one side only and has a perfect centre, along with its characteristic nodes. Quality specimens from this location are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. One for the collector of fine UK liassic ammonites. Approximately 191 million years old.
