Todas las subastas / Arte Antiguo / Harmonious Spiral - Lytoceras – Fossil Ammonite on Wooden Base
This ammonite belongs to the genus Lytoceras, one of the oldest and most elegant lineages of the great Mesozoic cephalopods. Its form tells of a refined evolution: a broad and harmonious spiral, a characteristic feature of the Lytoceratidae, where the coiling follows a fluid and continuous growth, free of the pronounced ribbing that accompanies other contemporaneous groups. The specimen has been polished, revealing a surface rich in details: mineral inclusions, dendritic branching, and traces of crystallization that followed the voids of the shell during fossilization. The result is a complex natural pattern, almost vegetal, offering a play of warm colors — ochre, brown, honey — typical of the secondary mineralization of the sedimentary layers in which it was found. The ammonite is mounted on a solid wood base, turned and finished to enhance the piece without overpowering its presence. The whole creates an object that unites natural history and decoration, with a perfect balance between scientific and ornamental.
