Description: UP FOR SALE IS A HUGE BEAUTIFUL 8 POUND 10 1/2'' SUTURE PATTERN AMMONITE FOSSIL FROM AROUND THE LOWER CAMBRIAN PERIOD FROM AROUND 500 MILLION YEARS AGO. I ACQUIRED THIS BEAUTIFUL SPECIMEN FROM MOROCCO. AFTER THE SINGLE CELLED ORGANISMS THAT CAME OUT OF THE PRIMORDIAL OOZE CAME THE TRILOBITES AND THE AMMONITES AND ORTHOCERAS WHICH ARE THE OLDEST EXISTING FOSSILS FROM AROUND 500 MILLION YEARS AGO. AMMONITES ARE PREHISTORIC SEA SHELS THAT LOOK EXACTLY LIKE MODERN DAY NAUTILUS SHELLS IN SHAPE BUT ARE 500 MILLION YEARS OLD AND CAN GROW TO BE UP TO HAVE AS LARGE AS A 6 FOOT LONG SHELLS. INSIDE THE SHELL WAS A NAUTILUS OR CUTTLE FISH OR SQUID LIKE CREATURE THAT HAD 8 GRASPING ARMS AND 2 MUCH LONGER TENTACLES WITH SUCKERS ON THE END TO GRASP PREY. IT'S DESCENDENTS ARE NAUTILUS, SEA SHELLS, OCTOPUS, CUTTLEFISH AND SQUID. IT'S NAME AMMONITE MEANS '' HORNS OF AMMON '' FOR THE EGYPTAN GOD WITH CURLED RAM HORNS BECAUSE AMMOONITES WERE THOUGHT TO BE CURLED UP PETRIFIED SNAKES AND CALLED SNAKE STONES. THIS IS A REALLY HUGE AND BEAUTIFUL FOSSIL THAT WOULD BE A GREAT CENTER PIECE ON CONVERSATION PIECE FOR ANY FOSSIL COLLECTION. PLEASE SEE PHOTO CAREFULLY. ITEM IS SOLD AS IS. I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS.
