Description

A fossilised cluster of multiple Dactylioceras sp. ammonites embedded within their original sedimentary rock matrix, originating from Schlieffhausen, Germany. Dating to the Lower Jurassic period, approximately 170 million years old, the specimen features various well-defined, ribbed spiral shells of differing sizes set into a rough, sandy-toned matrix. The piece exhibits clear morphological detail across a substantial, irregularly shaped slab. It is presented on two clear acrylic display stands and is accompanied by a descriptive identification card.
Width: 27 cm


Condition report:

The specimen is in good stable condition. The fossilised shells exhibit clear ribbing and morphological structure. The matrix is intact with natural surface textures and no visible signs of repair or restoration.
