Description: At a large mineral expo, I came across these new finds from a dealer I have done business with for over 20 years. He told me they are not going back for more, as they didn't find enough to be profitable. So this is apparently it. This specimen is about 2.6 inches across at its widest width, and it weighs 11.7 oz. They are fossil ammonites with pyrite and some sort of slate having grown all around them. They are from Ecuador, but the location in more depth than that is secret. These pieces are incredible interesting. The ammonite remains can be seen as sort of the leftovers of a pinwheel. The pyrite is quite bright, and is visible in all directions. The whole piece is about the size and shape of a very thick hamburger patty. HOW DO YOU KNOW that this is actually an ammonite in pyrite, and not some swirly concretion? The answer is in Photo 12: This is NOT a photo of the item for sale. They are photos of another specimen (not for sale) clearly showing an ammonite inside one of these things. We were asked how we knew there were ammonites inside, and not a concretion. So we opened one up, and photo 12 shows what was found. No dispute, it's an ammonite! You should get something similar to that seen in photo 12 if you were to open up the specimen for sale (of course that would ruin the specimen, which is why we opened one up... so you don't have to).
