PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Adre Designs: Handcrafted Jewellery Made With Love - Polished Jigsaw Ammonite Fossils (Phylloceras) - Cretaceous, Mahajanga Madagascar

These Jigsaw Ammonites, scientifically identified as Phylloceras, are exquisite fossilized remains of marine mollusks that thrived approximately 110-145 million years ago during the Cretaceous period. Sourced from Mahajanga, Madagascar, these ammonites are renowned for their tightly coiled spiral shells and the intricate, fern-like patterns on their polished exteriors, which give them their "Jigsaw" nickname. These delicate, puzzle-like markings are the external expression of their complex suture lines, a defining feature of the Phylloceras genus. When polished, the fossils reveal a stunning array of mineralized colors, showcasing the natural beauty of their ancient origins with a glossy finish that highlights their unique patterns.
