THE UPPER JURASSIC OF BAVARIA

In the subsurface of the entire Franconian Jura lies a layer of rock that is peppered with well-preserved ammonites. Where it comes to the surface, good finds are always possible.

Rarely, however, is it possible to recover such a beautiful piece of this rock layer and prepare it as masterfully as this find from the Neumarkt area. Three different species of ammonites, plus belemnites, oysters and brachiopods as well as several shell fragments lie loosely distributed on the former seabed.
