🔮 Ammonites: The Flow of Ancient Tides

💙❤️ Third Eye & Root Chakras 

Nautilus Ammonite are extinct prehistoric Cephalopods dating back to the event Cretaceous- Paleogene period which also caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. 

The suture type patterns have been perfectly preserved and can be used to identify the species of specimen, while soft tissue has rarely been found with the shell itself. 

When polished the suture patterns can appear iridescent and more pronounced. 

Apart from being simply amazing when found whole with no damage after millions of years, these fossils are a statement piece for your home or office and wherever grounding and presence is needed the most.  

The spiral shell of the Ammonite is a symbol of evolution, constant change and can assist with personal growth and connecting to ancient wisdom.  

🌀 Fossils

Fossils are life forms of either plants or animals that have been captured within an impression and preserved usually within the sedimentary rocks. Another type of fossil is resin fossilization where insects and plants are embedded within amber.

Most fossils are just casings or cavities of what was, and the soft parts of the animals and plants are rarely preserved due to certain salts and minerals breaking down the organic matter within.

Now another type of fossil can be completely replaced by an imprint or impression of the original shell, animal or plant within sedimentary rock or hard rock such as petrified wood.

Lastly a process called mineralization, is where an entire cavity can be completely replaced meaning if it was a shell, it would have completely dissolved. Through this process certain acids and solutions penetrate the cavity and form a new matrix within the cavity creating a 3D version of the shell itself.
