Description from the seller
This fascinating fossilized ammonite of the species Cleoniceras is a treasure from ancient times, a fragment of history that takes us back to the age of the dinosaurs. Its beauty is made even more extraordinary by the meticulous craftsmanship and polishing, which reveal the intricate internal chambers of this prehistoric marine creature.
The distinctive shell is a testament to natural symmetry, while the inner chambers display calcite and aragonite crystals that have taken millions of years to grow and sparkle with the colors of a bygone era. This fossil exudes the ancient grandeur of prehistoric seas.
Carefully mounted on a wooden base and supported by brass supports, this fossilized ammonite becomes a unique decorative element that captures attention. It is not just a piece of ancient rock, but a window into a distant era, an opportunity to connect with the evolution of life on Earth and to bring a part of the planet's history directly into your hands.
The measurements refer to the object in its entirety.
Measurements of the individual sections of Ammonite: 150 x 135 x 17 mm
