What does this mean?

Dear Phyllis,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be a fossil with the measurements of 14 x11 on the main shape, 18 at widest. The fossils are a Nautilus shaped Ammonite and a shell. Such fossils are often on the auction market offered and sold.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 150 to 300 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

With kind regards,
Georg
