Abstract
On A famous outcrop of well-preserved ammonites with the size up to 65 cm locates on the right bank of the Oka River near the village of Nikitino (Ryazan Oblast, Russia). Some of these samples are displayed in museums and decorate the interiors of offices and houses both in Russia and abroad. However, they are insufficiently studied as decorative collectible samples and jewelry and ornamental material. The study of ammonites using a modern set of methods revealed their mineral and chemical composition (including microinclusions and impurity elements), technological characteristics and their shaping factors, and examined their environmental compliance.
