There’s something timeless and mesmerizing about ammonites. These extinct marine creatures left behind intricate spiral shells that, millions of years later, continue to inspire awe and admiration. At Buried Treasure Fossils, we proudly offer a thoughtfully curated and expansive collection of ammonite fossils that celebrate nature’s ancient design. Each fossil tells a silent story from Earth’s distant past—one that you can hold, admire, and display.
Whether you’re an experienced fossil enthusiast or a newcomer fascinated by natural history, our offerings provide an extraordinary opportunity to connect with the prehistoric oceans that once covered our planet.
A Rich Diversity from Around the World
Our collection is as diverse as the places these ancient creatures once roamed. We carry ammonites from a wide range of globally recognized fossil regions including France, Madagascar, Morocco, and Russia. Each origin brings its own distinctive qualities, shaped by geological forces unique to that environment.
For instance, the brilliant red flashes often found in Madagascan ammonites stand out with fiery elegance, while specimens from France may display more muted but equally stunning characteristics. Moroccan ammonites often reveal fascinating mineral patterns, and Russian varieties bring out their own natural texture and detail. This variety lets collectors and enthusiasts find fossils that speak to their personal tastes and appreciation for natural beauty.
We take care to present only complete ammonites that have not undergone repair. Their natural integrity is preserved, allowing you to admire them in the purest form possible.
A Wide Range of Styles and Natural Beauty
Ammonites are among the most visually engaging fossils, and our collection celebrates that diversity. Whether you prefer the raw, untouched beauty of natural specimens or the enhanced visibility of cut and polished ammonites, we offer styles that cater to all preferences.
Some ammonites in our collection are embedded with shimmering pyrite, also known as “fool’s gold,” which lends a brilliant, metallic finish to their spiral forms. These fossils, transformed by mineral replacement over time, create a luminous, gold-like effect that captures light beautifully and draws attention effortlessly.
Others showcase vivid red or orange flashes—stunning natural phenomena caused by fossilization processes that preserved delicate coloration. Still others reveal internal crystals, allowing you to peer into the hollow chambers of the ammonite shell and see the wonders formed deep within the Earth.
We also offer cut and polished ammonites that expose the internal spiral architecture in incredible detail. These make for both educational and decorative pieces, demonstrating the intricate design of these ancient cephalopods. Every type of ammonite in our selection reflects the natural beauty shaped over millions of years.
Introducing Orthoceras: A Stunning Fossil Companion
Alongside ammonites, we also offer a select number of Orthoceras fossils. These long-extinct marine creatures, related to ammonites, are known for their elongated, conical shells that contrast beautifully with the spiral patterns of ammonites.
Orthoceras fossils offer clean lines and symmetry and are excellent companions for ammonite displays. Their linear form provides visual balance, enhancing the overall presentation and giving collectors another way to explore ancient marine life.
Just like our ammonites, these Orthoceras fossils are completely authentic and unrepaired—preserved in their natural state and ready to be appreciated for their age-old elegance.

Every fossil we offer has been carefully selected, inspected, and approved to meet our high standards. When you choose us, you’re not just buying a fossil—you’re acquiring a piece of Earth’s natural legacy.
The Allure of Ammonites: A Connection to the Ancient World
Why are ammonites so beloved? Their intricate spirals and complex patterns speak of nature’s unmatched creativity. But their appeal goes beyond their form—they represent resilience, transformation, and time itself.
Ammonites once swam through prehistoric seas, their coiled shells helping them maneuver and survive in vast underwater ecosystems. Over millions of years, these creatures became fossilized—transformed by mineral-rich waters and pressure into the stunning specimens we see today.
When you hold an ammonite in your hand, you’re holding a fossil that predates the dinosaurs. You’re holding a shell that has seen the Earth change across eons. This connection to ancient oceans is what makes ammonites so captivating—and why they remain such a cherished part of fossil collections around the world.

When you explore our collection, you’ll find that we treat every fossil with care and reverence. We believe that each ammonite represents more than just an object for display—it represents a moment in Earth’s history, preserved for future generations to appreciate.
