This beautiful display piece exhibits two solid calcite ammonites and a Bivalve shell (Cardinia gigantea). The very centres of both ammonites are not preserved and unlike ost other specimens you see around they are not carved in, they look much better natural.

This unique piece would grace any home or office space and is approximately 200 million years old.
