This listing is for a pack of 4 polished ammonite fossil halves, each one cut and smoothed to reveal the intricate internal chamber structure of ancient ammonites. These specimens are preserved in a dense, metallic-grey hematite matrix and sourced from fossil-rich deposits in Madagascar.
Ammonites were marine molluscs that thrived in Earth’s oceans during the Mesozoic Era. Over millions of years, their coiled shells fossilized, often replaced or surrounded by iron-rich minerals like hematite. When cut and polished, these fossils display a stunning cross-section of internal chambers once used for buoyancy control.
Each pair is split to reveal a mirror-image of the same ammonite, showcasing the fossil’s symmetrical structure and fine mineral detail. The hematite matrix gives a smooth, reflective finish and dark metallic contrast to the fossil’s natural curves.
Great for fossil collectors, geology classrooms, or display use—these ammonite halves offer a detailed and visually striking view into ancient marine life, preserved with a natural metallic touch.
