Classic Ammonite
A beauty in natural earth tones, this classic 20-inch ammonite is worthy of a distinguished collection.
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 skilled preparation showcases the pronounced ribs with hints of the fern-like sutures peeking through. Displayed on a custom floating, iron stand this classic ammonite is a testament to the ancient sea and raw beauty of Nature.
