Name:
Eparietites sp.
Geologic Age: Jurassic
Stratigraphic detail: Froddingham Ironstone quarry of
Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, England
Comments: Another
RARE AMMONITE that has
stunning white calcite replacement and gorgeous, sharp suture lines.
This specimen measures 8" across and is approx. 2 1/2" thick. This
specimen, like virtually all of the U.K. Ammonites, has been prepped on one
side only. Typically this is due to the fact that one side is usually
damaged during the finding process and is not a candidate for further
preparation.. THIS specimen COULD be prepped on the back side, as it still has
the original shell attached as well as some matrix over that... so this one
could be further prepped and polished if one were so inclined.
Name:
Eparietites sp.
Geologic Age: Jurassic
Stratigraphic detail: Froddingham Ironstone quarry of
Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, England
Comments: This wonderful
RARE AMMONITE that has
stunning calcite replacement and smooth ribbing.
It has been painstakingly prepared and
polished to an extremely high standard.
The back side of this
ammonite, like virtually ALL of the Eparietites has not been prepared.. when
these ammonites are found and exposed they are typically damaged.. so they are
prepped from the backside so that the undamaged, true beauty of these
ammonites can be exposed. The Ammonite measures
8" across. A truly museum grade example of one of the worlds most sought after
Ammonites. SHARP keel!!!
