Metalegoceras is an extinct ammonite from the Metalegoceratidae family, who lived in Perm about 280 million years ago. This fossil was cut through and polished, which means that the complex chamber structure comes into its own. Some of the chambers are completely filled with crystalline material, which provides a fascinating insight into natural fossil formation. Metalegoceras fossils were found in various regions, including Australia, China, Russia and North America. An impressive piece from the early sea fauna.
