1 to 1 1/4" Flashy Red Iridescent Ammonite Fossil

These are small flashy red ammonite fossils from Madagascar. They have a natural red iridescence to them that is quite spectacular when viewed from different angles. They range from 1 to 1 1/4" wide with most being in the middle of the size range. The photos are representative of what they look like.

Ammonites were predatory cephalopod mollusks that resembled squids with spiral shells. They are more closely related to living octopuses, though their shells resemble that of nautilus species. True ammonites appeared in the fossil record about 240 million years ago during the Triassic Period. The last lineages disappeared 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous.
