Here is a classical Ammonite Plate with Dactylioceras athleticum from the Jurassic of Schlaifhausen, Germany. This Ammonite species was in the past very frequent found on the fields around Schlaifhausen after the ploughing. Today are new finds of Dactylioceras athleticum in Schlaifhausen possible but quite infrequent. The attraktive Ammonite banks were systematly and nearly complete extracted and are now found in collections and museums around the world.
This piece is a inexpensive example of this Ammonite fossil.
