Fossilized Sliced Tiger Nautilus Shell. Beautiful shell, inside and out. Sliced perfectly through the middle. Measures 5'' x 4'' x 1.25''. Imagine holding in your hand a 110 million year old fossil. Some ammonites are much older that that, up to 450 million years old. Even older than the dinosaurs. Oceans at the time were teeming with life. Predators were everywhere, and it was a live fast, or die hard world for the ammonites. In fact, ammonites closely resemble modern squids, octopus and the chambered nautilus. Ammonites were carnivores as well. Fossils were once found only in museums - NOW you can OWN one!!! This is from a NEW batch from Madagascar. Bought in Tucson with some of the best color and deepest cavities/pockets around, excellent batch!!!! Super nice crystals, absolutely the best I have seen in years.
