This magnificent example has had many hours of preparation spent on it. It is exceptionally rare in the Opalinum zone and is only one of two specimens we are aware of from this world famous location on England's Jurassic coast. The ammonite was first described by (Denckman 1887). Most of the outere whorl is covered in circular wormtubes and also a couple of oyster shells. The ammonite was discovered in 1976 and has remained unprepared until now. The specimen comes with a chrome display stand and would grace any home or serious collection. From a collectors point of view, this oolithic ammonite is one of the rarest specimens we have ever offered for sale from Burton Bradstock. Approximately 178 million years old. A totally unique display piece and a sound financial investment.
A beautifully preserved calcified ammonite which has been prepared both sides and also has its counter part/ negative preserved, which to the collector is an added bonus. This type of ammonite is very rare from this locality on England's Jurassic coast. The specimen was discovered 1992 after a small cliff fall and is approximately 178 million years old.
