Fossil Ammonite Display from Madagascar
As the ancient super-continent Gondwana broke up in the mid-Jurassic period, Madagascar was wrenched from eastern Africa. The mini-continent thus formed included present day Madagascar and India existing until about 88 million years ago when India split off and began drifting to a collision with Asia. Madagascar remained in place, a chunk of ancient Gondwana preserved to the present day. The ammonite fossils from western Madagascar we offer lived in the warm shallows of ancient seas that lapped the western shores of that long lost island continent.
This small ammonite has been split and polished, and measuring about 1.45 inches x 1.2 inches (3.7 cm x 3.1 cm) with a depth of about .3 inch (7 mm) for each half. Both halves are included.
As can be seen in the photographs, the specimen cut faces have been polished to a high luster and are beautifully finished. The septum walls are sharp and clear in this solid specimen. The back sides remain unfinished and in their natural state.
These small ammonites from Madagascar make great decorator items, or a unique gift for someone whose interests include earth history.
This is the actual article the buyer will receive. Does not include acrylic display stands shown.
An additional selection of these exquisite small 'A' grade ammonites are available in our Internet web store.
