This is a very displayable plate of ammonites. These are Dactylioceras sp. from the Jurassic of Germany. This is a natural piece - there have been no ammonites added or composited. This type of ammonite has very fine ribbing and a rounded keel. The ammonites are quite inflated and exhibit fine detail. The ribbing pattern is easily seen and many of the cephalopods show the smaller, inner whorls. The natural yellowish coloration of the fossils is outstanding and contrasts beautifully with the dark brown matrix. This is a very appealing ammonite specimen from Germany.
