Rarity and Value
This 16 cm ammonite is a rare and well-preserved fossil from the Triassic period—the earliest chapter of the Mesozoic Era, a time of profound transformation following Earth’s greatest mass extinction. Its compact yet striking form is accentuated by a natural layer of ammolite, which lends it a vibrant play of colors. Ammonites bearing such mineralized brilliance from this ancient epoch are highly prized by collectors and institutions alike.
Discovery and Significance
As one of the earliest ammonites to appear in the fossil record after the Permian extinction, this specimen embodies a story of survival and evolution. Its flawless spiral structure and subtle coloration offer a glimpse into the marine life that flourished in newly stabilized oceans, more than 240 million years ago.
Craftsmanship and Presentation
Expertly polished on one face to reveal its ammolite luster, the ammonite retains a natural reverse surface, emphasizing its authenticity. Its compact size makes it ideal for desktop display or as an accent in a refined natural history collection. Presented on a discreet stand, it becomes a timeless object of contemplation.
Human Touch
Though smaller in scale, this fossil holds immense narrative power. It tells a story of regeneration, the resilience of life, and the beauty hidden in stone. Ideal for connoisseurs of prehistoric treasures, it transforms ancient biology into personal inspiration.
