Fossil Ammonite Cluster in Matrix with Stand

• Ammonite Cluster in Matrix with Stand

AMMONITES are cephalopod mollusks, relatives of the present day nautilus, octopus and squid, that perished in the Mesozoic Era (160 million years ago). Their shells were often spiraled and ridged, like a ram's horn, and named after ancient Egypt's supreme Deity, the Horn of Ammon. Their shells also contain a
number of gas filled flotation chambers.
