With their intricately coiled, ribbed shells, they were incredibly successful marine predators and scavengers, filling ecological niches similar to today’s squid and cuttlefish. Groups like this formed when ammonites were buried together by sediment on the seafloor, preserving them in stunning three-dimensional detail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecimen Highlights:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Authentic natural group of Jurassic ammonites in natural limestone matrix (multiple specimens)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Naturally preserved with excellent shell detail.
