Ammonites Cluster
A remarkable ammonites cluster, a sizeable ammonite is surrounded by a half-dozen ammonites and a handful of clams.
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.
The skillful preparation emphasizes the spiraling ribs in warm cream tones and contrasts fern-like sutures in red and brown earth tones. The beautiful fossil ammonites cluster is displayed on a custom iron stand.
