L'ammonite aux reflets métallisés se pare partiellement d'un voile rouge qui participe à son attrait. Son corps interne est totalement fossilisé en pyrite.

Collection d'un amateur, France

Ammonite with red shades, strong red insertions are not visible on photos. There is a little deformation of fossilization just at the opening of the ammonite. This is just normal, given an extremely good condition of conservation. Mineralization in pyrite, such a fine quality.
