6.1" Fossil Ammonite and Phone (Cellular nokiadon) Association
Check out this extremely rare ammonite and touchscreen cell phone (Cellular nokiadon) association, collected from the Middle Jurassic Deposits of Dorset, England. This phone species is known for its structural integrity and long lasting lifespan. Beautiful screen and button preservation on this specimen. The incredible click action of this species' power button is still observable!
The fossil has undergone some significant disarticulation within the rock, requiring glue stabilization around the exposed areas. The rock has been cut flat along one edge for free-standing presentation.

About Ammonites
Ammonites were ancient marine cephalopods, similar to today's squids and octopuses, but with a defining feature: their distinctive, tightly coiled spiral shells. These shells, resembling those of modern nautiluses, served as both a protective home and a buoyancy aid, allowing ammonites to navigate the prehistoric seas with ease. First emerging around 240 million years ago in the Triassic Period, ammonites thrived for over 175 million years, adapting through numerous forms and sizes. As predatory creatures, they likely fed on smaller marine organisms, using their tentacles to capture prey. However, their long reign came to an end 65 million years ago at the close of the Cretaceous, coinciding with the mass extinction event that also eliminated the dinosaurs.
