A fine example of fossilised marine invertebrates, excavated from the high-altitude sedimentary formations of the Anti-Atlas Mountains in northwestern Morocco, an area globally renowned for its rich Cretaceous marine deposits. Painstakingly liberated from its limestone matrix through advanced mechanical preparation, the specimen exhibits extraordinary shell fidelity, with full exposure of the anatomical whorls, ribbing, and natural patina typical of only the finest examples of this genus. This particular Mantelliceras ranks within the top percentile of the finest known specimens of its type, in both form and preservation. Unlike many ammonites recovered from similar contexts, which often suffer from partial exposure, mechanical over-preparation, or matrix loss. This example remains wholly intact, with no restoration, filler, or artificial enhancement.
Presented on our proprietary stainless steel swivel mount-engineered for minimalist integration into modern interiors, the ammonite may be rotated incrementally to reveal new visual angles and structural perspectives. This function enhances both aesthetic appreciation and academic study, allowing a dynamic and engaging interaction with a fossilised organism that once inhabited Earth’s primordial oceans approximately 135 million years ago.
The subtle interplay of natural geometry and industrial design enables this specimen to serve not only as a paleontological reference point but also as an object of sculptural beauty. Its commanding presence and scientific integrity make it equally suited for private connoisseurship or institutional curation. In conclusion, this ammonite offers a rare confluence of geologic authenticity, curatorial excellence, and design, this presentation is an exceptional acquisition for the discerning collector or educational institution seeking a centrepiece of genuine natural history.
