Pyritized Ammonite
Add a Matching Display Stand
You'll find extra shine in this Ammonite fossil which is packed with Pyrite! This Jurassic Period ammonite fossil comes from the Ryazan region of western Russia. The ammonite fossil has been replaced by the mineral Pyrite, with druzy crystals of Pyrite visible inside the hollow growth chambers of the ammonite shell!
Ammonites are an extinct variety of sea creatures that swam the shallow seas millions of years ago. As the shell fossilizes, it is naturally replaced by the mineral pyrite, creating shiny and golden colorations. Part of the shell naturally dissolved away, exposing the amazing pyritized growth chambers inside!
The top of this specimen has been lightly polished.
