Iridescent Ammonite
75 million years old
Fossilised shell
Height: 42 cm
Provenance
Discovered in the Blood Reserve, Alberta, Canada
A magnificent example of one of the most spectacular fossil types known. Many of the extraordinary ammonites recovered from the Bearpaw Formation suffer from compression and losses, requiring reconstruction from multiple individuals. This specimen is notable for its original condition and intense, unenhanced rainbow iridescence.
