Petrified Wood Slab – Ammonite Inclusion is a petrified wood slab in which mineralised timber and an ammonite inclusion create a layered geological composition. The fossil spiral sits like a natural medallion within earthy browns, greys, amber and honeyed mineral tones.

Petrified wood forms over geological time as buried timber is progressively replaced or filled by minerals, allowing grain and internal structures to remain legible in stone. In this slab, those fossil wood patterns are interrupted by the ammonite, bringing two very different organic histories into a single surface.

The material is available as slab for tabletops, worktops, vanity tops, wall cladding and interior details, and can also be cut into tile formats where a modular treatment is preferred. Different cuts of petrified wood can emphasise different structures, including circular cross-sections or longer grain-like movement.

Petrified Wood Slab with Fossil Contrast

A petrified wood slab rewards close selection because fossil structures, mineral colours and the position of the ammonite cannot be standardised. For a tabletop or vanity, the spiral can be treated as a deliberate focal point. For larger wall work, quieter surrounding areas can help it read without competing cuts.

Compare Noir Fossil Petrified Wood for a darker fossil-wood surface and Labradorite Slab – Ammonite Inclusion for a cooler, iridescent setting around an ammonite. Petrified Wood Tabletop provides a related furniture reference, while the Rock Crystal Ammonite Tap Head shows another De Ferranti use of fossil form with mineral material.

Planning the Cut and Composition

Review slab photography and samples before fabrication, paying particular attention to fossil placement, colour transitions and the intended viewing direction. Cut lines should respond to the composition rather than divide its strongest features without purpose.
