This is a beautiful specimen of Discoscaphites conradi from the Cretaceous of South Dakota. The fossil cephalopod is extremely 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 iridescent mother-of-pearl shell is intact and beautifully displayed. The ammonite is well showcased on the large, natural matrix block which also contains three smaller ammonites! This is a very collectible display ammonite from the Fox Hills Formation. (The detail and colors are much brighter than the photo shows.)
