Description from the seller

A stunning pair of fossilized ammonite halves from Madagascar, presented on a custom-sculpted base crafted from fine Calacatta Carrara marble. The two sections sit securely in custom-fitted grooves on the marble stand and can be easily removed, as no glues, adhesives, or structural modifications have been applied to the fossils.
​The split ammonites display breathtaking logarithmic spiral structures with beautifully preserved internal chambers and intricate suture patterns. Their polished surfaces radiate rich natural hues of gold, amber, brown, and bronze.
​The base, carved from authentic Calacatta Carrara marble with its signature bold grey veining over a pristine white surface, beautifully elevates the display, giving it a museum-grade aesthetic.


​Features:
​Fossil: Pair of split ammonites (cleaved half sections) (3.2 kg)
​Origin: Madagascar
​Base: Fine Calacatta Carrara Marble (29.4 kg)
​Condition: Excellent
​Placement: Freestanding / Removable display
​An extraordinary collector's ensemble that seamlessly combines millions of years of natural paleontology with the timeless elegance of premium Italian marble.
