Description: found this very nice (and unusual) mortoniceras species ammonite September 10, 2024 along a Fort Worth formation exposure creek in eastern Johnson County, Texas. The ammonite was broken by something prior to becoming fossilized, as evidenced by the bend at a strong angle and two break points visible on one side. Several other fossils can also be seen on the exterior. I cleaned it with a dremel 290 and a Zoic short tip as well as a brief 10-second dip in 50/50 muriatic acid+water, countered by baking soda afterward. Its estimated age of 90-100 million years old places it in the age of dinosaurs, when a vast sea known as the western interior seaway covered the middle of the North American continent. My pricing factors in the rarity (in my experience) of finding preserved situations amongst ammonite fossils such as this one. Please review all photos prior to purchase! 4.5” diameter 8 ounces Some info about my pricing: I typically sell unprepped mortoniceras ammonites to dealers for $7/inch. A nice prepped mortoniceras can go for as much as $20 per inch for larger ones. You’ll see some of my ammonites far cheaper than $7 per inch, usually due to how worn down or damaged the ammonite might be. I still want those ammonites to be good VALUE for the buyer.
