Description

Ammonite with Stand
Mammites nodosoides
Cretaceous
Asfla, North of Goulmima
Morocco
6.65 x 5.43 x 2.67 inches (16.90 x 13.80 x 6.77 cm)

This fossil Ammonite of the species Mammites nodosoides displays the classic coiled form of these ancient marine mollusks, preserved with rugged surface detail and earthy coloration. The natural ridges and nodules of the shell are still visible, hinting at the creature's once-armored design. Set securely in a custom black metal stand, the specimen is elevated for both stability and striking presentation. Ammonites remain enduring symbols of prehistoric seas, their spiral forms evoking both mathematical perfection and natural mystery. With its dark tones and coiled silhouette, this example carries a subtle, almost haunting presence-an excellent centerpiece worthy of any fossil collection.
