A stunning example of a highly pyritised ammonite fossil of the species Crucilobiceras densinodulum from the world-famous Jurassic Coast beach of Charmouth, Dorset UK.
The fossil measures 32 mm (1.3 inches) across, which is a good size for this species. The ammonite shell is very well preserved with great detail in the ribbing and suture lines and a tiny hole in the centre. It is clean on both sides. It has a beautiful pyritic metallic shine. These large Crucilobiceras ammonites are uncommon as most are much smaller.
Around 196 million years old, this fossil would make a wonderful addition to any collection.
