Description: I found this nice mortoniceras ammonite at a warehouse construction site off Eagle Parkway and I-35W near Texas Motor Speedway in July 2024. The non-display backside gives a glimpse into the ocean floor at the time, with ancient grains of sand seemingly glued onto it (naturally) and a few smaller fossils attached. You can imagine it sitting in the sand on the ocean floor. The inner whorls have a deep maroon red section that appears to be crystal. I prepared this ammonite using my dremel 290, a zoic paleo chisel tip, a little sandpaper, and elbow grease. Jk on the elbow grease.. Its estimated age of 90-100 million years old places it in the age of dinosaurs, when a vast sea known as the western interior seaway covered the middle of the North American continent. Please review all photos prior to purchase! There are a couple of shallow, surface only hairline cracks that previously existed but they aren’t easily visible and they aren’t significant enough to worry about their impact. 5” diameter Approx 1 lbs, 7 oz Stand IS included with this purchase. Some info about my pricing: I typically sell unprepped mortoniceras ammonites to dealers for $7/inch. A nice prepped mortoniceras can go for as much as $20 per inch for larger ones. You’ll see some of my ammonites far cheaper than $7 per inch, usually due to how worn down or damaged the ammonite might be. I still want those ammonites to be good VALUE for the buyer.
