Description from the seller
A fascinating Ailoceras slice, showcasing the intricate internal structure of this extinct ammonoid, beautifully displayed in a frame that harmonizes with the natural color of its matrix.
The combination of fossil and frame creates a refined and elegant presentation that highlights both the beauty and complexity of ancient marine life.
Ailoceras is an extinct genus of ammonoids, marine cephalopods closely related to ammonites, squids, and nautiluses.
They lived during the Devonian period, over 380 million years ago, in the warm and shallow seas of the ancient world.
This specimen represents a transverse slice through the fossil, revealing the internal chambers (septa) that once helped the animal control its buoyancy.
The fine mineral infillings inside the chambers create beautiful natural patterns and colors, making this piece both scientifically significant and visually captivating.
Period: Devonian (approximately 380 million years ago)
Origin: Boeny Region, Madagascar
Frame size: 15.5 x 20.5 cm
Condition: Natural fossil slice, professionally prepared and framed.
Ammonite 9.7 cm
A unique and elegant piece that combines natural history, science, and art — perfect for collectors or as a distinctive decorative element.
Seller's Story
Don & Donna Fossils finally moved to Spain.
We are a Don & Donna Fossils, a couple united by the love of exploration, field research, professional preparation and museum display of fossils from all over the world.
This formula, combined with a desire to improve, makes us a winning team dedicated to our Fossil World.
Larisa is been passionate about fossils since was a child. Her strengths are perfectionism, perseverance and creativity, hence her ability to work and prepare these fossils as authentic, unique and aesthetic as possible. The pieces with which she is famous and which she boast the most are spiny ammonites.
I, Don, started fossil hunting in 1987, going from a passionate collector to a professional preparator and researcher. In all these years I have traveled searching for fossils in many parts of the world.
Our fossils are present in private collections in the United States, Singapore, Taiwan, as well as in prestigious museums in the Uk, China and Japan.
Quality in the preparation of the material and seriousness in managing the shipment in the best possible way distinguish us.
