Large Ammonite Orthosphinctes for sale from Germany

Description

This large green Ammonite Orthosphinctes for sale comes from the location Endress Quarry in Graefenberg, a commercially used quarry in Bavaria which covers Malm gamma 1 and 2. The Ammonite has turned into Glaukonite which creates the green color of the fossil.  These green Ammonite Orthosphinctes fossils come from the lowest layers of the Quarry and have been collected years ago when these layers where better exposed for collection.

The Ammonites of the Malm gamma are hard to determine, since they change in evolution. Another challenge is the growth of the Ammonites which seams to appear in 3 stages and finally due to sexes. There is new work in progress to find new keys for specimen determination.

The large Ammonite Orthosphinctes for sale here is 9.2 cm or 3.6 ” in diameter.
