Description from the seller
Fossil Nautilus from Madagascar, polished to reveal the pearlescent coloration of the shell. This ancient cephalopod, related to modern nautiluses, lived millions of years ago in the prehistoric oceans surrounding the supercontinent Gondwana. The shell displays white and cream tones with natural veins of sand and gray, evidence of the fossilization processes that replaced the original material with siliceous and calcitic minerals. In some areas, pearlescent reflections can be seen, remnants of the ancient inner wall, giving the specimen an elegant and organic shine. The internal cavities, now filled with consolidated sediments, reveal the characteristic spiral section of the Nautilus: a universal symbol of perfection, growth, and the golden ratio. An fascinating fossil, ideal for both paleontological collections and as a natural decorative object, capable of evoking the memory of primordial oceans.
