Asteroceras Fossils of this calibre are incredibly difficult to obtain, especially of this preservation and contained in such an attractive way in the original nodule/boulder,now finely worked as a perfect backdrop. Showing off it spectacular and natural suture patterning, which has taken place during the Fossilization Process.

Exceptional condition, and true to its original form. Very distinct and clear Chambers perfectly exposed and pronounced. The Ammonite has been polished, giving an overall High Quality Finish; this also allows the Suture patterning and replaced Calcite chambers to be more visibly clear, revealing detail and colour
