Ammonite and Shark Fin

A dramatic duo, in shades of charcoal grey reveal a glimpse into the ancient seas. An artful composition emerges from the rough matrix, the graceful spiral of an ammonite – an extinct mollusk, next to a smooth, linear shark fin. The large, ribbed ammonite measures 18 inches wide, while the exquisitely preserved shark fin measure 15 inches long. Beautiful in its simplicity, yet striking in contrasts of form, this piece exemplifies the juncture of nature, art, and design.
