First thing to consider when buying any Ammonite fossil is what kind of quality you are after, most ammonite fossils are of lower quality and found all over the world, you will find they have little or no color , black with some red and maybe green when it is held at an angle or they will be a milky white. most of these types are coming from madagascar and Russia,,i have seen these at trade shows for around 10 dollars a pound. the size of the pieces and other factors will dictate what it is most likely worth, there does not seem to be a set standard for the price, it is just a matter of who is selling it. with stuff like this, i have seen some high prices before. and they do make nice conversation pieces, i have also seen some of them turned into jewelery boxs and these are in the store for up to 4000 dollars canadian. But the thing that really made ammonite popular is the high end gem fossils and gemstones from alberta Canada, this is where you see the real bright colors of red green, blue,yellows and sometimes a bit of pink, very often compared to the real expensive opal that you never see just anywhere that sells at about 5000 dollars a square inch and higher.
