Pyritized Ammonite – Volga River, Russia
Distinctive pyritized ammonite from the Volga River region of Russia, where Jurassic-age deposits are famous for preserving ammonites in sparkling iron pyrite. The natural replacement of the shell by pyrite produces striking metallic patterns, with fine detail of the suture lines clearly visible. These fossils are highly prized by collectors for their rarity and the unusual preservation process that creates a natural metallic finish.
