 Description:
A spectacular pair of Pavlovia ammonites, this display catches the
eye from every aspect. These ammonites are best known for their distinctively-ribbed
shells, shown here as they are preserved in rich beige Calcite. The
species derives its name from the river by which the first specimens
were found, just as these were, in deposits from near the Jurassic/Cretaceous
boundary. |
