6.5" Wide Polished Fossil Ammonite "Dish" - Inlaid Ammonite

This is a 6.5" fossil ammonite (Cleoniceras) dish from Madagascar. There is a second agatized ammonite inlaid into the center of the larger one. It could be used as a very unique dish or looks amazing as just a stand alone display.

Comes with an acrylic stand.

Ammonites were predatory cephalopod mollusks that resembled squids with spiral shells. They are more closely related to living octopuses, though their shells resemble that of nautilus species. True ammonites appeared in the fossil record about 240 million years ago during the Triassic Period. The last lineages disappeared 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous.
