Product Description
From the world-renown Black Jurassic oil-bearing shale of Holzmaden, Germany comes this exquisitely preserved Black fossil shale slab featuring one large and one partial Harpoceras ammonite. The gold ammonite is naturally colored by its mineralization as the fossil was formed millions of years ago. This gold color is highly prized but varies in intensity.
Specimens like this are now becoming quite rare as almost all large-scale quarrying operations in the formation have ceased. It is likely, Holzmaden fossils of exceptional quality and size like this breath-taking example will appreciate in the future as demand far outstrips supply. Holzmaden is a highly unique formation, famous for producing some of the world's finest Jurassic marine life fossils. This specimen is perfect for either a collector of unusual and impressive fossil specimens or for an memorable centerpiece for interior design. Highly recommended to accent a room with one of nature's most beautiful prehistoric masterpieces as this would really set off any interior.
Some of the largest dinosaurs that ever walked the earth were in existence when this ammonite swam in the ancient seas alongside massive plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs! Even if you could care less about fossils of any kind, you would be hard-pressed to not find this specimen anything less than breath-taking!
