Ammonite Fossil - Fossilised shell - Fossilized Douvilliceras Ammonite – Madagascar. - 190 mm - 160 mm
A piece of natural history dating back some 110 million years, this Douvilliceras ammonite comes from the rich fossil soils of Madagascar. It is a fascinating specimen, polished to allow you to admire the lobed sutures, a distinctive feature of this species.
Ammonites of the genus Douvilliceras are easily recognizable by their thick, strongly ribbed shells, with a series of nodes and bumps that give them a sculptural appearance. This specimen has been perfectly smoothed and polished, revealing the extraordinary crystallized structures inside the shell, where calcification has replaced the original organic tissues.
Thanks to the refinement of the workmanship, this ammonite is ideal for both collectors and those who want a natural and historically rich piece of furniture. The combination of perfect fossilization and natural polychromy makes it an exclusive piece for any exhibition.
