Polished Black Nautilus From France - 6.2"

This is a huge, black and purple polished nautilus fossil from Belmont, France. It is 6.3 inches wide and displays nicely on a free-standing block of matrix. This nautilus is Lower Jurassic (Toarcian Stage) and quite hard to acquire compared to the commonly available types from Madagascar and Morocco. A very unique display piece, that should appeal both to the collector and to someone who just wants to appreciate the aesthetics.
