Description

Meekoceras gracilitatus
Ammonite
Late Triassic
Thaynes Formation
Elko County, Nevada, USA

Big 93mm ammonite from Nevada.

Cephalopod.

Meekoceras is a genus of Triassic ammonite known from different parts of the world (North America, Russia, India, China, Japan, and Madagascar.

There was a time when ammonites from the Thaynes Formation were seen at shows but no one collects out there anymore.  Every once in a while, a few appear on the market from an old collection.

Interesting piece for an ammonite collector looking for Triassic material.
