HILDOCERAS SEMIPOLITUM AMMONITE - Airvault, France

JURASSIC PERIOD (LIAS - TOARCIAN SUBSTAGE):  184 - 175 million years ago

From the Toarcian substage of a Jurassic deposit in France, this very large example of the Hildoceras semipolitum species ammonite displays all the desired traits of a top grade specimen.  The centrum is as perfect as can be and the characteristic ridge on the outermost shell edge is wonderfully preserved and intact as shown in the last two images.  

For a unique species of Jurassic ammonite and probably one of the most aesthetic types, this is one of the nicest examples we could offer as well as one of the largest.  A beautiful marine creature that once thrived in the vast Jurassic seas of what is now West Central Europe.

BEAUTIFUL COLOR, FORM AND DETAIL - A MUST HAVE ADDITION FOR THIS SPECIES!
