Is received this piece found in the erratics in a roughly prepared condition. Because Lituites are very rarely found in a well preserved condition it wa well worth it to rework this specimen. 

The bonded joint of the elongated part of the cephalopode was not fitting correctly so it was dissolved. After reworking the surroundling matrix, the end piece was relocated its correct position and smaller imperfections were reconstructed. After the precision work and restauration the reworking of this piece was finished. The final piece  offers a very natural and high end appearance.
