- Age: Jurassic, 205-135 million years ago

- Description: This exceptional ammonite specimen displays green, orange and blue iridescence colours on both sides; fused with occasional flashes of red and golden yellow. During the fossilisation process, the natural nacreous shelllayer was transformed chemically, resulting in a play of vivid colour. On custom stand.
- Additional information: Ammonites were shelled cephalopods that died out about 66 million years ago. Fossils of them are found all around the world. Their geometry and beauty have captured the human imagination since Middle Stone Age times and have given rise to many origin myths and beliefs about their magical and medicinal properties.
