Description from the seller

Scientific Name
Mamites nodosoides

Location
Goulmima, Morocco

Stage
Cretaceous (~95 million years ago)

Size:
20 centimeters

Fossil description
Fossil ammonite of the species Mamites nodosoides, large in size and with excellent visual presence. Measuring 20 cm in diameter, this piece stands out for its large ornamental horns, one of which has been carefully glued, maintaining the original aesthetic. The structure features very attractive natural patterns, with lines and reliefs that enhance its decorative value. Although it already shows notable cleaning, it can be cleaned further if desired, allowing the collector to customize its finish. Originating from the Cretaceous deposits of Goulmima, Morocco, this piece is completely natural, ideal for display cases, private collections, or exhibition spaces. It does not include a stand.

Restoration
Yes – one of the horns has been glued.
