Description from the seller
Ammonite fossil – polished (4,068 kg)
Impressive ammonite fossil with partially polished spiral and visible natural stone matrix. The piece shows both the glossy exterior of the fossil shell and a second ammonite in the rough matrix.
Ammonites are extinct marine mollusks from the Mesozoic and are among the most iconic fossils. Because of the characteristic spiral shape and warm natural tones, this is a particularly decorative collectible.
