My “Classic” DAC Ammonite, inspired by the real fossils that can be found right here, on the Yorkshire Coast!

Large Ammonite Set inside a FULL Solid Brass “Rock”.

My brass versions are a rare occurrence due to the time and challenges it takes to make them!

I often only make 1 or 2 of these a year.

The Ammonite is first made and then squashed into white hot, large chunks of steel, or in this case Brass which has been collected and melted into blanks by myself first.

Crushed under my big Power Hammer, the Ammonite leaves an imprint behind that the fossil can then be taken in and out of, just like the real stone “nodules” that can contain the hidden treasures of fossils!

My Brass versions are inspired by specimens that have had their outer rock (containing Iron Pyrite) polished up to a lustrous, golden hue!

Each one is unique due to the metal forming in its own way.

This one has turned out a little larger and has a lovely arrangement of organic “cracking” in the rock.

See images for size comparison.

Full “Rock” approximately 10cm diameter.

If you would like to collect your purchase there is no need to select delivery, simply select the collection option and let me know when you would like to collect!

Mild steel will often rust when exposed to moisture, when kept indoors this will only be a surface rust and can be cleaned and protected by applying a product that contains oils or wax, such as furniture polish or WD40.

Brass can be polished is required.
