A highly pyritised ammonite fossil of the species Promicroceras pyritosum from the world-famous Jurassic Coast beach of Charmouth, Dorset UK.

The fossil measures 26 mm (1 inch) across, which is huge for this species and as big as they get. The ammonite is well preserved with some compression of the inner whorls. The ribs are very finely defined and the pyritic colour and shine is beautiful. A great example of the species and incredible in the flesh.

These pyrite ammonites have long been used to make beautiful natural jewellery.

Around 196 million years old, this fossil would make a wonderful addition to any collection.

Combined shipping: I offer combined shipping on all of my fossils. If you wish to purchase multiple fossils, just send a message to let me know and I can hold any order open for up to 25 days from the first auction win/purchase for more fossils to be added to the order. After you have finished adding items to an order, let me know and I will combine the shipping to the lowest amount possible for your items.

 

The shipping cannot be combined automatically due to the large variation in weight of the fossils and the costs of different weight classes of the Royal Mail.
