Description

This ancient Ammonite fossil, specifically of the sub species Dactylioceras, is from the shores of Whitby, Yorkshire, UK. This particular fossil dates back roughly 180 million years, during the Jurassic period when dinosaurs roamed the earth! This piece has also been partially pyritized, giving it an extra cool factor. You will receive the exact Dactylioceras fossil as pictured.

Pyritization of fossils is relatively rare, as it occurs when Iron and Sulphur (the component elements of Pyrite) leach into the cavities and pores of the fossil, which over time fully replaces the organic material.

Ammonites are an extinct sea creature, distantly related to the modern squid and octopus. they roamed the seas roughly 250 - 66 million years ago, evolving from elongated spine shelled creatures, to the wonderfully intriguing coiled explorers of the seas that they became before sadly being wiped out along with the dinosaurs!

Reviews

“I’ve bought literally hundreds of crystals and mineral specimens from them over the past few years and they’ve always exceeded my expectations, with many a ‘oh wow!!!’ moment”

– Gemma Nelson

“The CC is always the first business I recommend to anyone who is interested in buying crystals, as I know they will never be disappointed by what they'll receive. The pictures on the website are always true to how they actually look, (no photo manipulation to make stones look bigger or more vibrant) and honestly look even more stunning once you see them in person.”

– Eva Nott
