€3,600.00Block of Dactylioceras Athleticum ammonites.
A magnificent unique piece!
This block of Ammonites is a real photo of a seabed more than 180 million years old!

However, it is found throughout Europe. The Schlaifhausen site where this block comes from was undoubtedly the shore of a Jurassic sea where empty ammonite shells accumulated. The main advantage of this site is that the soil has remained quite sandy, which makes it easier to clear the gangue. A natural accumulation that was created 180 million years ago!
The block is presented on a polished brass base.
