4” Texas Cretaceous Dino Age Fossil Mortoniceras Sp Ammonite W/oyster Attached!

Description: STAND INCLUDED!I found this nice mortoniceras species ammonite in mid-July 2024 on the upper bank of a creek very close to Texas Motor Speedway, just west of I-35. it’s preserved nicely on both sides and has a good looking oyster attached, an ammonite fashion accessory :) The only repair applied (visible in photos, mostly on one side) was gluing a small broken piece at the end of the ammonite back on. I cleaned it with a dremel 290 and briefly dipped it for a few seconds in muriatic acid (counteracted with baking soda after 10 seconds) to take off a few shallow scratches. This ammonite was fairly worn due to erosion and is presumed to be missing the center, so I left the matrix intact and coated it with a clear polyurethane spray to ensure that the fossil looks good and maintains integrity for the foreseeable future. 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! 4” diameter 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.
