Ammonites Tower
Swirling together in this ammonites tower, over a dozen ammonites in shades of chocolate and bronze, seem to swim the Jurassic sea.
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 of this fossil ammonites tower showcases both the narrow ribs and fern-like sutures of the ammonites. The simplicity of the spirals is beautifully displayed on a custom ebony base.
