This is a beautiful specimen of Discoscaphites conradi from the Cretaceous of South Dakota. The fossil cephalopod is very inflated and complete all the way down to the aperture. The faint ribbing pattern and the nodes around the circumference of the ammonite are nicely preserved. The red, iridescent shell is intact and beautifully displayed - a wide array of colors is exhibited. The ammonite is well positioned on the natural matrix block, which also contains other fossils. This is a very pretty display ammonite from the Fox Hills Formation. (The iridescence is much brighter than the photo shows.)
