About Ammonites:
Ammonites are a group of extinct marine molluscs that thrived during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, appearing as far back as 400 million years ago. These relatives of today’s squid and octopus are best known for their iconic spiral shells, which are found all over the world and are among the most recognisable and well-preserved fossils known to science.
The coiled shells of ammonites were divided into chambers used for buoyancy control—similar to a modern nautilus. When sliced and polished, these fossils reveal exquisite internal structures, often filled with beautiful calcite crystals and minerals that formed over millions of years. Each polished ammonite half tells a story, showcasing nature’s artistry in every chamber and swirl.
This Specimen – What Makes It Special:
This cut and polished ammonite pair has been sliced in half and expertly polished to a smooth finish. The internal chamber patterns, once used for buoyancy and locomotion, are now revealed in breathtaking detail. Colours range from deep earthy tones to honey-like calcite fills and occasional natural iridescence—making this specimen as decorative as it is educational.
These matched halves make an ideal display piece, whether for a fossil shelf, desk, museum case, or metaphysical collection.
Collector, Educational & Decorative Value:
- A great starter piece for new fossil collectors
- Fascinating addition to educational collections for schools or museums
- Thoughtful gift for natural history lovers, students, or science teachers
- Ideal for decorative or metaphysical use—ammonites are believed by some to aid with balance, stability, and spiritual harmony
