The presentation of this Ammonite is the most telling attribute, as the decorative specimen has been polished to accentuate a wonderful array of geometric hollow cavities in parallel formation. A golden color defines most of the prehistoric piece which also exhibits dramatic stains of very dark black hues. This classic offering of Schloenbacchia from Morocco features many holes that go all the way through.
