Ammonite Fossil - Fossilised shell - Fossilized Douvilliceras Ammonite – Madagascar. - 190 mm - 160 mm

Un pezzo di storia naturale risalente a circa 110 milioni di anni fa, questa ammonite Douvilliceras proviene dalle ricche terre fossilifere del Madagascar. Si tratta di un esemplare di grande fascino, lucidata, per permette di ammirare le suture lobate, un tratto distintivo di questa specie. Le ammoniti del genere Douvilliceras sono facilmente riconoscibili per la loro conchiglia spessa e fortemente costolata, con una serie di nodi e gibbosità che le conferiscono un aspetto scultoreo. Questo esemplare è stato perfettamente levigato e lucidato, mettendo in evidenza le straordinarie strutture cristallizzate all'interno della conchiglia, dove la calcificazione ha sostituito i tessuti organici originari. Grazie alla raffinatezza della lavorazione, questa ammonite è ideale sia per collezionisti che per chi desidera un elemento d’arredo naturale e ricco di storia. La combinazione di fossilizzazione perfetta e policromia naturale lo rende un pezzo esclusivo per qualsiasi esposizione.
