Mounted Terracotta Ammonite 5" Pair

About the Item

Pair of Fossilized Ammonite Slices on Custom Metal Bases. This stunning pair of fossilized ammonite slices showcases the intricate and mesmerizing patterns of these ancient marine mollusks, beautifully preserved and mounted on sleek black metal bases for an elegant display. Ammonites, an extinct group of cephalopods related to modern octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish, lived millions of years ago and are celebrated for their spiral-shaped shells that resemble tightly coiled rams' horns—hence the name, derived from the ancient Egyptian deity Ammon, often depicted with ram horns. The internal structure of these ammonites reveals intricate chambers filled with minerals, showcasing natural tones of brown, cream, and gold that highlight their geological history. Measuring 5" in diameter, this pair is not only a testament to Earth's prehistoric oceans but also a sophisticated decorative accent for any space. These fossils are a fascinating combination of natural history and art, offering a glimpse into a bygone era while serving as a conversation-starting addition to any collection or decor. 5" High
