Stock is reserved when checkout is submitted. The dealer confirms shipping and tax and arranges payment directly with you using their own invoice.

An excellent decorative accent, this piece features both Orthoceras and Ammonite fossils set into a complimentary shaped plate. The fossils and plates are polished to show off their unique color pallet. These are the most common of the cephalopods which lived between 200 to 450 million years ago. Ammonite, which means coiled horn, was an air breathing invertebrate. It looked like an ancestor of the squid except its body was protected by a coiled, chambered shell. Ammonites flourished throughout the Mesozoic Era - about 250 million years ago.

Please note:

• The item shipped may be slightly different than the one you see in the photograph. While the overall shape and the 3 fossils will be embedded in the matrix, their shapes and colors as well as their matrix will differ from one specimen to the other.

• If you are concerned, please reach out to us after ordering and we'll send you photographs of the exact item that will be shipped.
