Ammonites Association

Artfully composed, this natural association of ammonites and clams varied in size and color bears witness to the seas of the past.
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.
Over 30 skillfully prepared ammonites, ranging from an inch to 16 inches, showcase the shell’s ribbing and fern-like sutures in shades of cream and warm browns with hints of opalescence. Dramatically displayed on a custom ebony base, this fascinating association reveals endless detail with every glance.
