This is one of our larger size Madagascar Nautiluses, weighing at almost a pound and a half.
The coloring in this fossil is darker than the smaller ones. It is a more rich, brown color.
How amazing it is to find fossils over millions of years old in such good shape! Gotta love it!
Nautiluses are often confused with Ammonites- but look closely and you'll notice the patterns on the outside are actually very different! When compared next to each other, an ammonite shell is much more elaborite and complex than the beautifully simple nautilus shell.
Approx. 3.5" x 3" x 2.5"
