This is a beautiful heteromorphic ammonite. It is a large Anclyoceras matheronianum from Saratov, Russia. This type of ammonite is loosely coiled, and this specimen displays this feature in textbook fashion. The ammonite has exquisite detail, with the ribbing pattern very easily seen. The colorful nacreous shell still has the striking iridescence preserved. The ammonite has been prepared partially free-standing in the natural matrix block - even the tiny inner coils are free of matrix! This is one of the largest and most displayable ammonites we have had. It is a showcase fossil that could easily be the centerpiece of any fossil collection.
