This stunning open chamber section has revealed hundreds of 'Dogs tooth' calcite crystals. Most collectors of fossils and crystals will appreciate how beautiful this specimen is. The crystals are perfect and the ammonite which has encased these calcite crystals is approximately 200 million years old.
This is an incredibly rare type of fossilised limestone deposit named the 'Epophioceras stone band' Nobody actually knows where this stone band is in situ and relatively few pieces have ever been discovered apart from a few large chunks in the mid 1908's. This lovely piece was discovered in 1988 and has remained in the same collection until now. Ammonites in this dense limestone are usually very well preserved and highly sought after by collectors. The rock has no cut base and has been left natural as we think its more aesthetic. One for the serious collector of rare UK ammonites. Approximately 200 million years old. Fossils Direct are constantly striving to bring to our customers old and new, the very finest fossils from around the United Kingdom.
