Whole Ammonite Sutured With End Chambers

Sold Individually. Discovered in Russia These beautiful ammonite fossils have been polished to a stunning shine, revealing and accentuating the stunning complex Suture Patterns within. As ammonites grew, they added new living chambers to accommodate their growth in size. The chambers of Ammonites were separated by a tissue called septa. One can see the separations of the chambers by means of a complete wavy line called a "suture pattern". The suture pattern is the line separating the septa and chambers and is visible underneath the animal's aragonitic shell. These specimens have had their end chamber hollowed out to provide a unique and stunning view of the septa. Normally, end chambers get filled with debris over time which eventually turns to stone. The process of working an ammonite like this takes quite a bit of time, as it is very labor intensive. While the task may be arduous, we think the final product is well worth it.  Ammonites lived during the periods of Earth history kn
