Hoploscaphites nicolletti Age: Cretaceous Formation: Fox Hills Formation Location: South Dakota Size: Ammonite is 2.4 inches across Price:SOLD
This is a distinct ammonite fossil. It is a fine specimen of Hoploscaphites nicolletti from the Cretaceous of South Dakota. This type of ammonite has faint ribbing and a somewhat squared keel. There is one row of prominent nodes on each shoulder and near the keel of the ammonite. These features are very clearly defined on this specimen. But the most striking feature of this ammonite is its natural color. The shiny, iridescent shell of this ammonite is very easily seen. The ammonite is well displayed on the large block of concretionary matrix. This is a very displayable ammonite from the Black Hills.
A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS is included with this specimen.
