Description
An interesting specimen of an ammonite from the genus Androgynoceras can be a valuable addition to your collection.
The appearance of the ammonite is completely classical, with harmonious proportions of the spiral shell and pronounced transverse ribs. The rock fragment on which the ammonite is located is “native”, which is clearly visible when viewed from the side. A rounded recess made in the stone allows you to admire the ammonite shell as a picture enclosed in a natural stone frame.
The uniqueness of the ammonite is given by the place where the find was made. Lyme Regis, a seaside town in the south of England. This is the birthplace of Mary Anning, who discovered ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs to the world. Mary Anning lived at the beginning of the 19th century, and made a significant contribution to the development of paleontology. Ammonite from Lyme Regis is not only a piece of the distant past, but also a touch on the history of science that tells about the past of the Earth.
