Ammonite slab of famous classic location #4

This beautiful stone with ammonites Dactylioceras athleticum comes from the lower Jura 
(Lias, under Toarcium) from Schlaifhausen near Forchheim in Germany. The age of this fossil 
is also approximately 189 million years.

This site has long been considered a classic site for these ammonites. Unfortunately, it is 
now completely exploited, new finds are no longer possible and so this piece comes from an 
old collection.

The stone is solid and stable, it measures about 14 x 12 x 5 cm. It is original and unbroken 
and weighs about 1 kilogram. Such large slabs are rarely available today. 

Honest piece without any manipulations.
