About the Item
A superb example of fossilised marine invertebrates, this specimen originates from the high-altitude sedimentary strata of the Anti-Atlas Mountains in northwestern Morocco an internationally celebrated region for its exceptionally rich Cretaceous marine deposits. The fossil displays remarkable shell fidelity, with its whorls, ribbing, and natural patina fully revealed. Such clarity and completeness are characteristic only of the most exemplary representatives of this genus. Ranking within the uppermost percentile of known Mantelliceras specimens in both form and preservation, it stands in sharp contrast to the many ammonites from comparable contexts that exhibit incomplete exposure, over-preparation, or loss of matrix. This specimen remains entirely intact, bearing no restoration, filler, or artificial enhancement.
Mounted upon our proprietary stainless-steel swivel base, engineered for subtle integration within contemporary interiors, the ammonite can be rotated incrementally to reveal shifting visual profiles and structural nuances. This dynamic feature enhances not only aesthetic appreciation but also scholarly examination, inviting an engaging, multifaceted interaction with an organism that once navigated Earth’s primordial seas some 135 million years ago. The interplay between its natural geometry and the restraint of industrial design allows the piece to function simultaneously as a rigorous paleontological reference and an object of sculptural elegance. Its commanding presence and scientific integrity render it equally suitable for discerning private collectors and institutional collections alike.
In sum, this ammonite embodies a rare convergence of geological authenticity, curatorial refinement, and thoughtful presentation, an exceptional acquisition for any collector or educational institution seeking a distinguished and genuine natural piece of history.
