Natural, unbroken slab filled with wonderful naturally occurring orthoceras fossils that was once part of the prehistoric ocean floor over 400 million years ago, in a rose marble base.
As these forms of prehistoric squid were covered in ocean sediments prior to fossilization, the majority of the creatures will be facing in the same relative position, having been lined up by currents on the sea floor prior to being buried.
The fossils are exposed in their natural surrounding matrix. The slab features normal relief as well as dramatic natural texture and detail they had tentacles and ink sacs, much like present-day squid.
Except for belemnites, cephalopods had external shells with hollow internal chambers separated by walls called septa. Devonian period, ca. 410 million years, Anti-Atlas Mountains - Southern Morocco.

Handmade brass display with three Opalized Ammonites from Madagascar fields, Albian Period (100–140 million years old). When opalized can be also called as Ammolite is an opal-like organic gemstone found in various placed in the North America and Madagascar. Ammolite is made of the fossilized shells of ammonites, which in turn are composed primarily of aragonite. The microstructure of the mineral is inherited from the shell.
It is one of few biogenic gemstones. Other more commonly known biogenic gemstones include amber and pearl. Ammolite was officially recognised as gemstone species in 1981. Ammolite “opalization” is a term used to express the similarity between the two minerals due to the spectrum of colours it displays. Usually red and green, whilst, blue or purple are rare due to the latter's fragility.

Nautiloid Fossil: Cymatoceras sp. – a remarkable specimen hailing from the Cretaceous-era formations of Mahajanga Province, Madagascar, dating back approximately 130 million years. This fossilized treasure is a testament to the enduring beauty of nature's craftsmanship, showcasing the intricate layers of Calcite in stunning detail.
Cymatoceras sp., a member of the Nautilidae family, offers us a glimpse into the ancient oceans of our planet. These creatures, reminiscent of modern squids with their distinctive shells, first emerged during the Late Triassic period and continue to thrive in our oceans today. This polished Nautiloid fossil serves as a captivating window into the distant past, where the mysteries of prehistoric life are etched in stone for us to marvel at and contemplate.
Madagascar Copal Amber with leaves and insects, mounted in a handmade dark brass base.
Amber is a substance derived from resins (Fossil Resin) of trees and plants that, buried for millions of years, underwent into a fossilization process.
These resins produced by plants acted as protection against the action of bacteria and against the attack of insects that punctured the bark until reaching the interior of the trees.
Over millions of years, amber-forming organic substances ended up forming a hardened, weather-resistant resin.
