This unique and stunning Marston Marble Ammonite fossil is from Marston Magna in Somerset, England. The most prevalent specimens were collected during the 18th and 19th centuries when limestone slabs were quarried and prized as decorative marble. The dark limestone is crowded with small ammonite concretions that make beautiful patterns. 

Ammonites are an extinct marine mollusk in the class of Cephalopoda. Ammonites thrived from the beginning of the Jurassic period, 201 million years ago through the Cretaceous period, about 66 million years ago. Their distribution was worldwide in shallow warm seas Along with the dinosaurs, they died out during the mass meteor extinction when photosynthesis was interrupted. Their fossil skeletons are found in sedimentary rocks worldwide and are a good stratigraphy indicator for scientists.
