XL Jurassic Ammonite Fossil 15.5 x 14 x 5.5 Inches Apx, with Nice Ribs
About the Item
XL Jurassic Ammonite Fossil 15.5 x 14 x 5.5 Inches Apx, with Nice Ribs. We think this is a Kranaosphinctes species. ***NOTE: Our 1stDibs store is closing soon.***
We love the substantial ridges (also called ribs, spines, and nodes) on this extra large and heavy ammonite fossil. The specimen measures approximately 15.5 x 14 x 5.5 inches and weighs almost 40 pounds! (Due to its heft, we are not able to ship this item outside the continental US.) This ammonite will provide a nice focal point, conversation piece, or intriguing display for the home or office. As is always ideal, the ammonite has been cleared of the matrix in which these are found during digs on both sides, so both sides (rather than just one side like some ammonite specimens) show the ammonite, which is preferable and adds to its value and beauty. Since it is a prehistoric fossil it shows its age (of course!) such as cracks, pits, and possibly some restorations, etc. We do our best to find the nicest possible items with the least bothersome imperfections. This one impressed us with its monumental presentation as well as its notable ribs. You may want to obtain a custom made display stand for this piece. We have leaned it up for the photos. We were able to get it to stand on its own, but we recommend a secure support for long-term display.
General Information:
Measurements are approximate and generally represent the highest, widest, and thickest areas of an item. Species and where discovered are estimated based on available comparisons, research of others, and/or the source from which we obtained the specimen as we are not fossil experts. 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.
