25g Unique Pair of Ammonite Fossils

Ammonites are extinct marine invertebrates that belong to the class Cephalopoda. They were a group of predatory mollusks that lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, approximately 201 to 65 million years ago. Ammonites are named after the Egyptian god Amun, because the spiral shape of their shells resembles the horns of the ram-headed god. Ammonites are known for their distinctive, coiled shells, which are often well-preserved as fossils. They are found in many parts of the world, including Europe, North America, and Africa. Ammonites are important fossils in the study of paleontology, as they can provide information about the evolution and diversity of marine life during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
