Description
Striking piece features a genuine natural Ammonite Fossil with black enamel eye. This is an actual extinct mini Nautilus natural specimen that is at least 60 million years old! Beautiful & intricately detailed, can be worn as a brooch, or a pendant, about 2 1/2" long. This unique & stunning piece will bring many compliments and would make an amazing gift! The ammonite is a subclass (Ammonoidea) of extinct cephalopods especially abundant in the Mesozoic age that had flat spiral shells with the interior divided by septa into chambers. Ammonites are classified in a group of mollusk animals that are closely related to octopuses, squid & nautilus. The earliest traces of Ammonite date back to 420 million years ago, while the last known traces fall to 60 million years ago.These were first recorded near Pompeii in 79 A.D. and originally were named Ammonis Cornua after their horn-like shape. The creatures that lived in these shells swam in open waters, filling chambers of the shell with gas to maintain buoyancy. Fascinating! **I have 3 left, will update here. These are incredibly unique**
