Name:
Discoscaphites conradi Age: Cretaceous Formation: Fox Hills Formation Location: South Dakota Size: Ammonite is 3 inches across Price:SOLD
This is a colorful ammonite fossil. It is a fabulous specimen of Discoscaphites conradi from the Cretaceous of South Dakota. This type of ammonite has faint ribbing and a somewhat rounded keel. There are several rows of prominent nodes on the shoulders 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 amazing natural color. The iridescent nacre of this ammonite is very easily seen. It flashes a full rainbow of colors and is almost opalescent in nature (MYCH more colorful than the photo shows). The specimen is wonderfully perched on a natural block of dense, concretionary matrix. This is a very displayable ammonite from the Black Hills of South Dakota.
A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS is included with this specimen.
