This is an incredibly awesome specimen of Douvilleiceras Ammonites from Madagascar. The astonishing display has a large Ammonite with a much smaller one attached. The distinct tubercles and raised ridges form a beautiful pattern along the body of the Ammonite. It has much of the outer shell and remnants of the mother-of-pearl type iridescence. The large Ammonite measures 6″ x almost 5″ x nearly 3 3/8″ with a shiny polish and excellent detailed sutures all the way to the aperture. The small Ammonite is nearly 2″ x 1 1/2″ with very good detail, too. This wondrous Ammonite fossil specimen weighs nearly 3 1/4 pounds. An absolutely fabulous Ammonite display for any fossil collection!

Ammonites are extinct members of the cephalopod group of mollusks. Only a limited number of species have survived to the present day which includes the squid and the chambered nautilus. Ammonites had a multi-chambered shell, and added more chambers as it grew, always living in the outer chamber. They lived in the Cretaceous period some 63 to 130 million years ago.
