This coaster-sized ammonite disc from Madagascar brings together fossil sections in warm honey, cream and deep brown tones. The polished face reveals their coiled shapes and internal chambers, creating an intricate mosaic of spirals.
A large central ammonite is surrounded by smaller sections, its compact circular shape makes it an attractive display piece for a desk, shelf or fossil cabinet, and a thoughtful gift for a natural history enthusiast.
This is a decorative composite: individual fossil sections have been assembled into a disc and polished together. The arrangement has been created during preparation and does not represent ammonites preserved together in their original rock.

More About Ammonites
Ammonites are extinct marine animals related to modern squid, octopus and nautilus. They lived in ancient seas for an incredible span of time, first appearing around 400 million years ago and becoming especially abundant during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods before disappearing around 66 million years ago. Their distinctive coiled shells often preserve beautiful ribbing, chambers and natural patterns, while their rapid evolution makes them important fossils for helping geologists date ancient marine rocks.
