This is a massive, museum quality, 20.5" wide Placenticeras costatum collected in Meade County, South Dakota.

There is also a fossil baculite present just above the ammonite.

The rock has been wood backed, so that this specimen could be displayed by handing it on a wall, laying flat on a surface, or on a display stand. The piece weighs somewhere around 150 lbs in total and including the rock is about 24" wide.
