The ammonite, clearly visible in the photo, exhibits a coiled structure with regular whorls, typical of Jurassic fossil cephalopods. Its surface has a light beige hue, with slightly darker nuances in places, accentuating the relief of the ribs and striae. The external texture shows fine grooves and some asperities, indicative of fossilization. The whole forms a piece with a natural mineral appearance, without apparent polishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible face shows the center of the coiling, where the initial chamber can be distinguished, as well as the complete spiral contour up to the end. No major chips are visible on the front surface, but small natural irregularities are present, reinforcing the authenticity of the fossil. The piece is photographed against a gilded backdrop with baroque motifs, which enhances its neutral tones and organic silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dominant color is a stony beige, with lighter variations and grayish touches depending on the light. The external structure shows the undulations and reliefs characteristic of Jurassic ammonites, with well-preserved details on the main whorl.

Their spiral shell served to regulate their buoyancy thanks to internal compartments filled with gas or liquid. Jurassic ammonites are frequently used as stratigraphic fossils to date geological layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCareful packaging and fast shipping assured by a professional seller specializing in natural and antique objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKeywords: fossil ammonite, Jurassic ammonite, fossil shell, decorative fossil, fossilized shell, mineral spiral, natural ammonite, fossilized stone, paleontological piece, beige ammonite, spiral ammonite, jurassic fossil\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AFW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54250572054855,"sku":"0479556c-4758-4b59-8ec1-d150a07f5a65","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/5152\/8775\/files\/s-l1600_7e48da0b-60b2-454f-af65-f80aa526383c.jpg?v=1782717469","url":"https:\/\/shop.antiquefranceworldwide.com\/en\/products\/fossile-d-ammonite-jurassique-spiralee-beige-specimen-naturel-decoratif","provider":"AFW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
