There are copies at the Georg Agricola Technical  University (THGA) in Bochum; in Seppenrade, Germany; at the Museum of  Paleontology at the University of California, Berkeley; in La Plata; and  in other museums around the world. Another ammonite of the genus  Parapuzosia is in the National Museum of Natural History in Sofia,  Bulgaria, with...
