Ammonites were ancient marine animals related to modern-day squid, octopuses, and nautiluses. They lived in the world's oceans for hundreds of millions of years before becoming extinct around 66 million years ago! Their distinctive spiral shells fossilized over time, preserving the beautiful chambers and patterns that make ammonites so recognizable today.
Because of their spiral shape and incredible age, ammonite fossils are often associated metaphysically with transformation, growth, grounding, and the cycles of life. Some also view the spiral as a symbol of continual change and evolution, making ammonite a popular fossil for those interested in both natural history and metaphysical practices.
 
Each ammonite is a genuine fossil, so variations in size, coloration, fossilization, texture, and pattern are completely natural. Each ammonite measures between appoximatly 6 and 7 inches in length.
