Fossilised Nautilus (Rare)

An AMAZING fossilised Nautilus! With a couple of treats… this pieces hosts part of its own internal anatomy (I’m assuming part of its digestive tract) and a little shell tattoo! She’ll fossil within a Nautilus fossil!

Huge and gorgeous colours too, a statement piece with a wow!

From the Cretaceous Period, meaning that they are approximately 120 million years old!

The Cretaceous Period was a time when the seas were full of living Ammonites and Nautilus creatures, and eventually their shells fossilised into the stunning fossil specimens found today.

Nautilus fossils are the fossilised remains of ancient marine molluscs of the Nautilus family, which is a part of the cephalopod class of molluscs along with octopuses, squid, and Ammonites.

Nautilus fossils are famed for their stunning coiled, spiral-patterned shells and colourful internal chambers full of striking mineral replacements.
