In the arid southern reaches of Morocco’s Sahara, nomads have unearthed a giant ammonite fossil — a marine creature that ruled the seas nearly 100 million years ago during the Cretaceous period.
The spiral structure remains strikingly intact, each whorl a geological memory. Its extraordinary size suggests that some ammonites once grew to monumental dimensions.
Exposed by time, sandstorms, and tectonic shifts, this fossil reemerges from what was once a vast prehistoric sea.
Cradled in the man’s hands lies time itself — a silent monument to Earth’s transformation. From sea to sand, from life to stone, this fossil whispers an eternal message from the oceanic past that once flowed where dunes now reign.
