AMMONITE WITH THREE OYSTERS ATTACHED. This complete 100 million year old large 10 inch diameter ammonite, Pervenquivia is not only an attractive golden color with excellent detail but it has three oysters, Exogyra sp., attached to it. This is a very rare association fossil where after the ammonite died and its shell settled on the ocean bottom, three oysters attached themselves to its shell and were later buried under the sea bottom and preserved in Grayson County, Texas for the next 100 million years until being dug up. The oysters are a light brown in color and are nicely contrasted against the golden ammonite.

Add $15 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $450 - 550.
