2.27" Cut & Polished Agatized Ammonite Fossil – Display Specimen | Fossil Driven

Cut & Polished Agatized Ammonite Fossil — 2.27" Display Specimen

This authentic cut and polished agatized ammonite fossil measures 2.27" across and showcases beautifully preserved internal chambers filled with agate and silica-based mineralization. Expertly prepared, this specimen reveals the intricate internal structure of an ancient ammonite shell, making it an excellent choice for collectors and display.

Agatized ammonites form when mineral-rich groundwater slowly replaces the original shell material over millions of years, resulting in vibrant patterns and crystal-filled chambers. No two specimens are ever alike, giving each fossil its own unique appearance and character.

About This Specimen

This cut and polished ammonite fossil reveals the original septa (chamber walls), siphuncle pathways, and internal buoyancy structures that once allowed the living ammonite to navigate ancient oceans. The polishing process enhances the natural agate and crystal textures, creating a visually striking cross-section of prehistoric marine life.

Agatized ammonites are highly sought after for both their scientific significance and decorative appeal, bridging paleontology, geology, and natural art.

About Ammonites

Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squid and octopus that thrived in Earth’s oceans for over 300 million years. Their spiral shells grew in chambers as the animal matured, leaving behind a detailed record of growth and environmental conditions.

Through fossilization, silica and other minerals replaced the original shell material, forming agatized ammonites that preserve stunning internal structures rarely seen in nature.
