Mother nature has the best art, no denying! :bow

This Pyritised ammonite fossil is somewhere between 200 - 150 millions years old (Jurassic Era). I found it of the cliffs in England and cleaned it for your viewing pleasure. This ammonite, related to today's nautilus turned into iron pyrites, also know as fool's gold. The pattern of the ammonite is beautifull IMO.
