A really nice intense piece which is packed with small calcified ammonites. Billions of these ammonites were killed off in a single catastrophic event some 200 million years ago, probably a poisonous algal bloom. A lovely, classic piece from an iconic liassic locality.
This rare lower liassic ammonite has been preserved in solid pyrite and has an immaculate centre. The specimen was discovered in 1982 and will make an important addition for the collector. Approximately 196 million years old.
