5.5" Grade A quality black Ammonite split polished pair with Calcite crystal filled chambers. This black Ammonite is much rarer than other Ammonites from the area. Less than 5% of the Ammonites mined are of the black variety. The two sides are 17mm and 16mm thick 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.
