5.9" Grade A quality Ammonite split polished pair with Calcite crystal filled chambers. Fantastic shades of brown, yellow, and gray colors in filled agatized and calcified chambers. The sides of the pair are 18mm and 17mm thick at their widest points. The outer shell shows some areas of sutured, leaf-like patterns and some iridescent color. 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.
