Opened Spiral Ammonite

Opened spiral ammonite: substantial and striking, this remarkable fossil uncoils in warm earth tones, bearing silent witness to ancient worlds.
Named as “Ammon’s Horns,” for the ancient Egyptian god of life and procreation known for his ram horns, ammonites have been treasured by cultures around the world for thousands of years. Ammonites are extinct cephalopod mollusks, equally beautiful and important to the study of geology and paleontology. Ammonites are distinguished by shell ornamentation and suture lines.
This expertly prepared, over two-foot opened spiral ammonite features pronounced ribbing and fern-like sutures, revealed in stunning detail through its textured surface. Presented on a custom floating iron stand, it is a timeless tribute to nature’s raw, fossilized artistry.
