About the Item
Pair of Mounted Pyritized Ammonites
A striking pair of fossilized ammonites, each cut and polished to reveal the intricate internal chambers and mounted on custom black metal stands. Measuring approximately 12 inches in diameter, these specimens are remarkable for their pyritization, in which the original shell material has been replaced by iron pyrite over millions of years, lending them a subtle metallic luster that enhances their natural beauty. Their surfaces display rich tones of gold, brown, and cream, with beautifully defined spiral forms that exemplify the enduring geometry of these extinct marine mollusks. Ammonites thrived in the world’s oceans during the Mesozoic Era, between roughly 240 and 65 million years ago, and are prized today both as decorative objects and as significant artifacts of natural history. Presented as a complementary pair, they possess strong sculptural presence, making them ideal for display in both contemporary and classical interiors.
Dimensions: Each approx. 12 in. diameter; height on stands 12 in.
