About the Item

Nice Self-Standing Ammonite Fossil, & Other Fossils, Emerging from Matrix. This intriquing specimen is about 95 million years old and was discovered / collected 50+ years ago in France. It is a little wider at bottom so can stand nicely on its own. There are several other fossil elements in this matrix, including what appears to be another, much smaller ammonite on the front--next to the larger main ammonite--filled with calcite crystals in the chambers, and parts of other fossilized shells elsewhere on the specimen. The matrix itself is also interesting in its texture and colors. In person, in our environment, the specimen looks a medium yellow-tannish tone with darker dot-like textures, even though the photos and video make it look different colors depending on the lighting and angle. (It was an especially peachy-colored light that photo day.) Since this is a prehistoric fossil it will show its age (of course!) potentially such as cracks, pits, etc. This item shows its age, though gracefully. On the back matrix a small handwritten symbol, unfortunately in what was likely black marker, is fairly hidden by a small amount of beige paint. There is no other modification on the item as far as we can tell; this one was to its benefit in our opinion. General Information: Measurements are approximate and generally represent the highest, widest, and thickest areas of an item. Please expect that prehistoric items such as fossils may have signs of wear, use, or need for cleaning. Some may also have had repairs/restorations or have been sealed for preservation's sake. Please be aware that the color on your monitor and/or in your environment may look slightly different than in ours, so color is not guaranteed to be exact. Please also keep in mind that vintage and older items usually will show some indication of previous ownership and handling. Buyers of vintage and older items are presumed to understand and accept these. Since we do not do returns, please feel free to send questions if you have any before your purchase and we will be pleased to respond. #ammonite #extinctspecimen #naturalspecimen #fossil #uniquespecimen #extinctfossilspecimen #ammonitefossil #ammonite #france #Decor #collector #fossilcollection #naturalworld #naturalspecimen #fossils #Cretaceousperiod #prehistoric #ocean #sea
