This very rare oolithic ammonite has wonderful preservation and an immaculate centre. It was discovered in 2001 after a small cliff fall and has just recently been prepared by Andy Cowap. There are also 2 brachiopod shells on the matrix next to the ammonite, a Sphenorhynchia plicatella and a Sphaeroidothyris sphaeroidalis, these really make the whole piece highly aesthetic. Approximately 167 million years old.
This beautifully preserved specimen has no repairs or restoration,unlike many others. The centre is also very good which is a rarity for this type of ammonite from this iconic locality. The sutures are stunning and the colours include shades of orange, yellow and white. These classic ammonites from this quarry are rare to obtain thesedays. All the quarries in this area closed and were back filled in 1999. This specimen was discovered in 1995, a really aesthetic display ammonite for either the collector or an interior designer. Approximately 200 million years old.
