🌀 About Silver Iridescent Ammonites
Silver iridescent ammonites are among the most visually stunning and collectible invertebrate fossils available. These extinct marine mollusks lived during the Cretaceous period, roughly 100 to 66 million years ago, and are preserved with natural aragonite shell layers that reflect brilliant silver, blue, green, and even purple hues when viewed in light.
Ammonites are cephalopods—relatives of today’s squid and octopus—and their tightly coiled shells protected them as they moved through prehistoric seas. The dazzling iridescence seen in these fossils is caused by:
- Microscopic layering of aragonite crystals
- Specific burial and mineralization conditions that preserve the original shell material
Silver iridescent ammonites are primarily sourced from:
-
Madagascar, known for its vibrant coloration and fine detail
- Occasionally from other parts of North Africa and Europe
Each ammonite from Fossil Driven is:
