SOME AMMONITES

AMMONITE PAIR (POLISHED)

A very beautiful and details ammonite that has been split and the faces polished to bring out the colour and lustre.

Ammonites are an extinct cephalopod that lived from the Devonian Period through the Cretaceous Period. They were most abundant during the Mesozoic. The name comes from its appearance: it resembles a ram's horn. In Egyptian mythology, the God Ammon looked like a man with horns like a ram. The ancient fossil was considered Ammon's stone, thus inheriting the name, ammonite.
