More photos are coming.

Have an free Sunday with Fossils & Coffee after.

Found probably three flints with mussels, two shards from urchin molds.

And then the fragmented & intact urchins. Three have bad effect from the naturell erosion progress, but it‘s the work of time, so it‘s fine.

The one little in gray urchin fossil is intact.

Also found the matching pieces of an brocken intact echinodea family speciemen.

Fossil Gastropods – Ampullina & Clavilithes willemetti (Dehayes) – Middle Eocene, Lutetian – Mourne, Damery, France

Authentic Fossil Gastropods – Ampullina & Clavilithes willemetti (Dehayes) – Middle Eocene, Lutetian – Mourne, Damery, France

About the Fossils:

This is a high-quality fossil gastropod specimen featuring Ampullina and Clavilithes willemetti (Dehayes), preserved from the Middle Eocene Lutetian stage (~48-41 million years ago). These beautifully fossilized marine snails were part of an ancient warm-sea ecosystem that flourished in what is now Mourne, Damery, France.

The Ampullina genus is known for its rounded, smooth shell structure, while Clavilithes willemetti features a more elongated, ornate form. These gastropods belonged to the rich and diverse marine fauna of the Eocene epoch, thriving in tropical and subtropical seas.

Geology & Formation:

Geological Age: Middle Eocene, Lutetian (~48-41 million years ago)

Formation: Marine sedimentary deposits

Location: Mourne, Damery, France

Exhausted from spending the day roaming and collecting, Annie collapses on the couch and goes right to sleep.

She has completed another collection, this time it's fossils! (The Jungle Adventure Fossils don't count!)

A pretty little halved ammonite. We didn't realise it had a chip in its shell when we got it, but honestly we like it better that way.

Three new curio collection charm bracelets and two necklaces! I'm mostly preparing for the Columbus oddities and curiosities expo in April (2024, in case you're reading this in the future) because i'll have a 10x10 booth for the first time instead of just a 6ft table so I need plenty of inventory, But if you'd like one of these before then, or want to commission a custom one, just let me know! Or check link in bio for the ones available now.

PROLEYMERIELLA Iridescent Fossil Ammonite with Mother of Pearl Shell, Lower Albian, Cretaceous: Mitsinjo, Madagascar

All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Specimen: Proleymeriella Fossil Ammonite (with natural mother of pearl iridescence)

Age: Lower Albian, Cretaceous Period (approx. 113 to 100.5 million years ago)

Location: Mitsinjo, Madagascar

Scale cube = 1cm: Full sizing please see photo.

About the Fossil:

Proleymeriella is an extinct genus of ammonite, a type of marine mollusc that flourished during the Cretaceous period. This particular specimen originates from Mitsinjo, Madagascar, a region renowned for its beautifully preserved and naturally iridescent ammonites. The stunning mother of pearl shell preservation makes these fossils highly sought after by collectors and natural history enthusiasts.

Ammonites are among the most iconic and recognisable fossils, thanks to their distinct spiral-shaped shells. Despite their resemblance to modern-day nautilus, ammonites are more closely related to octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish. These marine creatures thrived in Earth's oceans between 240 and 65 million years ago before becoming extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period.

The beautiful rainbow-like sheen seen on this Proleymeriella ammonite is a result of the natural preservation of the original aragonite shell layer, creating a mother of pearl (nacreous) effect that shimmers under the light.

Geological Information:

Formation: Mitsinjo deposits, Madagascar

Age: Lower Albian, part of the Early Cretaceous Epoch

Environment: These ammonites lived in warm, shallow seas teeming with marine life, a rich ecosystem now preserved in the fossil record of Madagascar.

ACTUAL AS SEEN: The image shows the EXACT specimen you will receive. The fossil has been carefully hand-selected and professionally photographed to best represent its natural beauty.

Measurements are as accurate as possible; however, precise dimensions can be challenging to gauge due to the irregular shape of natural fossils. While we aim to portray colours as true to life as possible, variations can occur due to lighting conditions and device screen differences.

Once this specimen is sold, we will update the listing with a newly selected item, complete with new photographs and sizing.

Please Note:

If you have stored this item in your basket for a while, it remains available for others to purchase until checkout is complete.

We recommend saving or taking a screenshot of the item's photo at the time of purchase for your records.

We maintain records of every specimen photograph we upload.

Was rooting through the rest of my rock/fossil collection at my family home and realized I had some really good specimens that I've kept in storage for nearly 10 years, these in particular are really nice death assemblages
