ANDROGYNOCERAS AMMONITES IN MATRIX Boimstorf/Lehre near Braunschweig, Germany EARLY JURASSIC PERIOD (LIAS): 206 - 180 million years ago This unique multiple Androgynoceras maculatum ammonite specimen was collected during the construction of a highway near Braunschweig, Germany. The layer where this specimen was found was exposed during the site excavation. This is a unique and rare opportunity to acquire a specimen such as this as the layer is not accessible to collecting outside of such a project and these fossils are not mined nor available in any ordinary commercial manner. This is a very unique example as it shows three fossil ammonites each displaying all three forms in which ammonite fossils can occur - outer shell preserved, inner chamber preserved and negative imprint of an ammonite in the matrix. All fossil ammonites are in remarkably intact condition and sport a full mineralization with rich coloration. The original matrix in which it was found is still attached. The smallest ammonite shows all the chambers preserved and intact as seen in the last image. EDUCATIONAL MULTIPLE EXAMPLE OF THIS UNCOMMON TYPE AND SITE - RARE! 3.3" x 2" overall with matrix, largest ammonite 1.2" in width SOLD AM25-002 INCLUDES STAND Actual Item - One Only |
