About the Stone: About 240 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period, a massive ocean covered what is now Madagascar - teeming with life and ammonites! Over time, they passed on, and their shells were fossilized. Now we can find these fossils preserved in sedimentary rock. Very occasionally we come across a rare black ammonite fossil. These unique fossils likely got their color from manganese rich waters. What is an ammonite? Ammonites were predatory mollusks that resembled a squid with a shell. These cephalopods had eyes, tentacles, and spiral shells. They are more closely related to a living octopus, though the shells resemble that of a nautilus.
