AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very beautiful pair of ammonites, very finely crafted and polished, with warm calcite tones and a very rare feature you can notice in the left and right chambers: pyrite, a stunning crystallization; each piece is unique and invites rediscovery of the incredible beauty and complexity of nature. The winding chambers are all different. Dating places them in the Cretaceous period, about 130 million years ago. The end of this period is marked by a mass extinction of creatures, signaling the end of the Mesozoic era, along with the ammonites.
