Description: A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany this specimen. Here is a very nice example of a fossil ammonite, from the lower (early) Jurassic, about 180 million years ago. From an old find, the collection having been dug and compiled mainly in the 1960's. From Belmont, a small village in southeast France, which at the time was Region 69, the Rhone-Alpes. It is a Harpoceras subplanatum, in-Situ (in its original matrix), a very nice involute ammonite. It is sturdy and in very nice condition overall. It measures about 3.2 inches (8.1 cm.) and weighs 10.65 oz. The person who excavated these about 50 years ago labeled this piece on the back with several bits of cloth tape (photo). There is no restoration or paint added anywhere. French ammonites are a great way to expand a fossil collection. We are happy to enclose a COA (Certificate of Authenticity). Some words of caution about COA’s: Do not let them become a substitute for learning about the specimens. We have been working with fossils and minerals for many years, and we have seen hundreds of very nice-looking COA’s, some that are wrong, mis-describing a specimen. In addition, the person selling the item is often the one who writes the COA (potential conflict of interest). Finally, a COA without a photo of the exact item described, as part of that COA, is worthless, as it can later be placed next to any other fossil or mineral. We suggest that instead of relying on a COA, that people read and study the subject. ****************************************************************************************************************************************** IMPORTANT: If you are not satisfied with your order, please contact us, and let us make it right, before giving any feedback.
