Iridescent Ammonite
Psiloceras planorbis
Early Jurassic - Hattangian stage, approx 200 million yrs
Somerset, England
Soft rainbow shimmer on this small but very cute fossil ammonite.
Psiloceras fossils are commonly found at Watchet, Somerset, England.
Here smooth-shelled Psiloceras planorbis (along with other species) are to be found as usually flattened fossils in the Blue Lias.
Unlike most earlier ammonites, which had comple...x shell shapes and ornamentation, Psiloceras had a smooth shell.
All Ammonites, with the sole exemption of the genus Psiloceras were wiped out at the Triassic–Jurassic extinction event (201.3 million years ago). Hence all ammonites that lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous are descendants of Psiloceras.See my pics.
First 2 pics taken outdoors for the natural look, the others taken indoors.This cute ammonite measures approximately 5/8" across.
Total weight of this matrix specimen is approximately 111 grams.
Roughly triangular specimen measures approximately 3-1/4" x 3" and ranges up to 3/4".For this auction, I am only accepting Paypal payments.I do combine shipping and provide partial shipping refunds when feasible. i.e. when items purchased the same day fit/ship easily and safely together.
