Description from the seller
Ammonites are extinct mollusks that lived on Earth for a long span of time, from the Devonian to the Cretaceous (400-66 million years ago), surviving several mass extinction events except the last one.
For this reason and also due to their particular abundance, they are used by geologists as geological indicators, in order to link a rock layer to a specific geological era.
Note: The two metallic display units shown in a photo are not included in the lot; they were used only to take the photo.
Seller's Story
The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements.
Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past".
