    Description

    Fossil Ammonite
    Scaphite sp.
    Cretaceous
    South Dakota
    Scaphites is a genus of heteromorph ammonites belonging to the Scaphitidae family.
    They were a widespread genus that thrived during the Late Cretaceous.
    This specimen has attractive red iridescence showing on its brownish shell.
    However, my camera only picked up a little of this red iridescence.
    Scaphites are not plentiful, in fact they are quite rare compared to Madagascar ammonites.
    There are only a handful of specimens available on ebay at any given time.
    As I understand it, most scaphites we see are found in either the Pierre Shale or Fox Hills shale in South Dakota.
    This is a good opportunity to get an uncommon Scaphite in good condition at an affordable price.
    See my pics.
    This ammonite fossil measures approximately 2-1/8" across.
    Approximate weight - about 86.5 grams.
