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 59 mm (2.35 inch) across with matrix, which is very large for this species and about as big as they get in this condition. The ammonite shell is very well preserved with great detail in the ribbing and suture lines and it has a beautiful pyritic metallic shine. The spines are very well preserved, which is uncommon in this species. These large Crucilobiceras ammonites are very popular and hard to find.
Around 196 million years old, this fossil would make a wonderful addition to any collection.
