Spiky Peronoceras Snakestone

£65.00

A genuine single sided Peronoceras fibulatum ammonite, with a hand carved snake head.

A peculiar genus of ammonite, as they evolved with spines along the outside of the shell; presumably for defense.

I have taken time during the preparation process, to fully preserve each spine.

Found:- Lower Jurassic, Upper Lias, Bifrons Zone, Whitby, North Yorkshire, England, 180 million years old.

Snakestone approximate size:- 6cm x 6.5cm x 4cm.

Finished with bees wax.

This snakestone will come in a gift box, along with a plastic display stand and label detailing the origin and species of the fossil.
