Block 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!

This large block of stone is 180 million years old since it dates from the Toarcian, at the very beginning of the Jurassic.

And surely a little German accent, since he comes from the Bayern region.

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.

These very colorful insects have a large nose: they are Fulgores. Among the hundreds of species of these distant cousins of bedbugs, some even have a nose larger than their body (Fulgora Lateraria). We still don't really know what this appendage is for, which seems to be the fusion of its antennae. Some have peanut patterns, others thorns... We never tire of their colors from India to Thailand, where these 9 specimens come from.
