Ammonite Fossil Shell Sea shell - Fossil Ammonite Douvilliceras: Prehistoric Shell from the Cretaceous.

Questa magnifica ammonite appartenente al genere Douvilliceras è un'esemplare straordinario del passato marino del Cretacico. Con il suo guscio elicoidale perfettamente conservato, presenta costolature marcate e intricate suture che donano al fossile un’estetica eccezionale. La superficie dell'ammonite evidenzia eleganti dettagli ornamentali, che riflettono la struttura interna della camera abitativa, un capolavoro naturale modellato milioni di anni fa. Il fossile è stato accuratamente preparato per esaltarne la bellezza e montato su un supporto in legno con eleganti dettagli in ottone. La spirale strettamente avvolta e le costolature regolari denotano una crescita continua e simmetrica. La combinazione di linee sottili e decori naturali è tipica della specie Douvilliceras, nota per il suo equilibrio strutturale. Le tonalità calde, che spaziano dal beige al marrone dorato, sono il risultato della mineralizzazione avvenuta nel corso di milioni di anni. Questo esemplare è anche un'opera d'arte naturale che cattura la bellezza e la complessità del mondo preistorico ormai scomparso.
