Ammonite Cut & Polished Pair (Small)

Ammonite Cut & Polished Pair (Small)

Ammonites coming from Tulear, Madagascar, tend to be Triassic-Cretaceous in age. 

Ammonites are part of the Nautiloid family and similar to the Nautilus species we see in our oceans today. These ancient marine creatures are now extinct relatives of modern cephalopods, such as squid and octopus. Their distinctive spiral shells, often beautifully fossilised, display intricate chamber patterns that once helped them regulate buoyancy in the water. Scientifically fascinating for their evolutionary history and use in dating rock layers, ammonites also hold strong metaphysical value. They are believed to carry the energy of continual change and evolution, offering grounding and protection while encouraging stability during transformation. Their spiral shape is often seen as a symbol of the cosmic cycle and the flow of life itself.

This Ammoniate has skillfully been cut then polished to show the classic Nautiloid chambers. 
Ammonites are part of the  Nautiloid family and similar to the Notaulus species we see in our oceans today. 
It is a very striking fossil that would look wonderful in any fossil or shell collection. Also makes a great decor piece on its own.
