5.3" Ammonite split polished pair with Calcite crystal filled chambers. Fantastic shades of brown, yellow, red, and gray in filled agatized and calcified chambers. The outer shell shows some light areas of iridescent red fire color, the gemstone Ammolite. The two sides of the pair are 17mm thick each at their widest points. Pair weighs over 1 lb. Ammonites are an extinct group of marine animals related to the modern day squid. The last of its surviving lines disappeared with the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, although this piece is much older. As it grew, it added newer and larger chambers to the open end of the spiral. Only the last and largest chamber was occupied by the living animal at any given moment. A top notch fossil specimen for display and study from Madagascar.
