If you’ve ever looked at an ammonite fossil and thought, “That spiral’s a little too neat,” Nipponites mirabilis is here to blow up your sense of order.
This Late Cretaceous cephalopod from Japan gave up the classic nautilus swirl for a wildly twisted, zigzagging shell that looks more like modern abstract art than a home for a squid-like animal. Despite its chaotic appearance, Nipponites thrived about 85 million years ago, proving that even in evolution, weird design choices can work just fine.
This hard enamel pin captures its impossible geometry in polished metal and enamel—no trip to the Futaba Group or fossil auction required.
Specs:
- Premium metal base with polished hard enamel fill
- Secure clasp so your Nipponites doesn’t “spiral away”
- Size: 35.5 x 31mm
- Zero chance of getting tangled in your headphone cables
Perfect for fossil lovers, cephalopod enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the chaotic side of natural history.
