LSG-SC22-332240751V
Ammonite
Location: Kapotnya, Moscow
Upper Jurassic, Middle Volgian, Dorsoplanites panderi zone
Around 150 million years old
A large phosphorite inner mould of an ammonite, well-preserved for this location, . I found it broken in several pieces, some of them were quite small. I had to carefully search all the pieces in the wet clay and the snow (it was in witner). I didn't know how much was missing, but when I glued together all the pieces I saw it was nearly whole. A specificity of phosphorite fossils from this location is that they are weakly radioactive.
