Ammonite Douvilleiceras - Wood Base - Fossil fragment - 155 mm - 76 mm

This extraordinary Douvilleiceras fossil from Madagascar is a true jewel of geological antiquity.
The surface of this Douvilleiceras has been polished to highlight the distinctive characteristics of its species. The tubercles and ridges along the body of the Ammonite stand out clearly, creating a visually fascinating pattern. The black color, agatized over the millennia, gives the fossil an elegant and refined appearance.
The sutures, which are the thin lines that separate the Ammonite's chambers, are remarkably well preserved and can be followed in detail right up to the opening. Each suture tells the story of how this sea creature once sailed the ancient seas.

Ammonite height 62 mm
