Nice example of a Yorkshire Hildoceras Ammonite found and prepped by us at Fossilbox. Mounted on a modern chalky finish plinth with black felt underneath.
 
Legend has it that St Hilda the 7th century Saxon abbess of Whitby and founder of Whitby Abbey turned a plague of snakes to stone and threw them off the cliff creating the Ammonites found there today.
Hildoceras was thus named in honour of the legend of St Hilda.
