Ammonite

Stunning in its simplicity, and the largest of its kind with a diameter of 2 feet, this fossil ammonite makes a statement.
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 skilled preparation showcases both the shell’s ribbing and peeking through the tones of chocolate, bronze, and grey the fern-like sutures of the fossil ammonite subtly appear. The simplicity of the spiral is beautifully displayed on a custom ebony base.
