A very large and highly decorative Ammonite fossil on a handmade steel stand.
An ammonite is an extinct group of marine mollusks that belonged to the subclass Ammonoidea.
These creatures lived in the seas from the Devonian period (around 419 million years ago) until the end of the Cretaceous period around 66 million years ago when they went extinct along with the dinosaurs.
Ammonites were cephalopods, a group that includes modern-day squid, octopuses, and nautiluses.
Ammonites were highly successful and diverse, with a wide range of species adapted to various marine environments.
Their fossils are abundant and found worldwide, making them popular among fossil collectors.
Ammonite fossils are often sought after for their aesthetic appeal, and their intricate, spiral patterns make them popular among collectors of fossils and natural history specimens.
