7 Small Ammonite Halves - Mismatched Pairs
Here is a selection of 7 small mismatched halves from cut and polished Madagascar ammonites. They range from approximately .9 to 1.2 inches and would be great for jewelry making.
Ammonites were predatory mollusks that resembled squids with shells. These cephalopods had eyes, tentacles, and spiral shells. Though their shells resemble that of a nautilus, they are actually more closely related to living octopuses. Ammonites appeared in the fossil record about 240 million years ago, barely surviving several major extinction events. The last lineages disappeared 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous.
