Canadian Ammonite 74 (B100)

Discover an exceptional Canadian Ammonite fossil specimen recovered from KORITE's historic K-Zone deposit, renowned among collectors for producing the distinctive and highly sought-after dragon skin pattern. Displaying remarkable preservation, this complete Placenticeras costatum Ammonite showcases intricate natural texturing alongside vivid iridescent Ammolite colour that shifts beautifully with changing light. The dragon skin pattern is a defining characteristic of select K-Zone material and is rarely encountered in complete Ammonites of this size and quality. As KORITE no longer mines in the K-Zone, specimens displaying this unique pattern are limited to material recovered from this historic deposit, making them increasingly desirable among collectors and enthusiasts of exceptional natural history. Found in the rare Ammonite-bearing deposits of Southern Alberta, Canada, this remarkable fossil represents millions of years of natural transformation, where the original shell material evolved into brilliantly iridescent Ammolite gemstone colouring—a phenomenon found in only one small region of North America. Its impressive scale, striking colour play, and distinctive dragon skin texture make this specimen a remarkable display piece for advanced fossil collectors, luxury interiors, museums, and those drawn to the extraordinary beauty of the natural world. This Ammonite comes complete with a wood display stand and certificate of authenticity. For international buyers, all customs paperwork, permits, and export documentation are included. This specimen is registered with the Government of Canada and shipped in full compliance with Canadian export regulations.
