 Description:
A
spectacular collection of three 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. Even some of the intricate suturing pattern is present.
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. |
