Ammonite from Triassic of Utah. (Meekoceras) About 3". My wife found this one. I cleaned it up a bit and decided to leave it in situ.

This one turned out to be a commission for a family member who knows the true functions of the tanks pictured ("Sour Gas"). "Oilfield" tanks and a few Antelope ( Pronghorn).
