Ammonite Pairs (small and medium sizes)
Ammonite Pairs (small and medium sizes)
These Ammonites have been cut in half and have a polished face on both sides. Color can vary throughout the specimen and some shells have iridescence on the back side. Small pairs are roughly half an inch each and larger pairs are about 1 inch.
Ammonites were predatory mollusks that resembled squid. These cephalopods had eyes, tentacles, and spiral shells. They are more closely related to a living octopus, though the shells resemble that of a nautilus. Ammonites first appearing in the fossil record 240 million years ago, descending from straight shelled cephalopods. The last lineages disappeared 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous.
