Together, these represent a time span of about 140 million years. The Jurassic Period began around 201 million years ago, and the Cretaceous Period ended about 66 million years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"490\" data-end=\"809\"\u003eAmmonites are some of the most common fossils found today. Before going extinct alongside the dinosaurs, these squid-like creatures roamed the oceans in schools, using an organ called a siphuncle to jet through the water. Their remains are simply beautiful and form a cornerstone of any nautical or fossil collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"811\" data-end=\"1246\"\u003eThe name comes from the Ancient Egyptian god Amun, who was often depicted wearing ram’s horns. The spiral shape of the fossil resembles those horns, hence the name. In Ancient Greece, ammonites were thought to possess the power of Zeus. Throughout history, humans have been captivated by these fossils and enraptured by their unique spiral patterns. Even today, here at Paxton Gate, we are still obsessed by these wonders of nature. I don't think that's changing anytime soon either. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1248\" data-end=\"1566\"\u003eThe Cleoniceras ammonite is a fossilized sea creature from the Late Cretaceous, over 66 million years ago. It had a coiled, chambered shell and was related to modern squid and octopuses. These fossils are often found in places like Madagascar and are known for their incredible patterns and colors, as pictured here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1568\" data-end=\"2052\"\u003eFrom a metaphysical perspective, all fossils are thought to support transformation and change. They are believed to help you move from the old to the new and be receptive to fresh, innovative energy. Ammonites in particular carry different meanings depending on their coloration. This fossil has an incredibly diverse coloration, with brown and black being the primary energies. Brown is often linked to grounding and stability, while black represents protection and transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FossilMineral Giebfried","offers":[{"title":"1-1.5\"","offer_id":48872575664352,"sku":"441827","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1.5-2\"","offer_id":48872575697120,"sku":"441828","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-2.5\"","offer_id":48872575729888,"sku":"441829","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2.5-3\"","offer_id":48872575762656,"sku":"441830","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0077\/2797\/2442\/files\/Paxton_Gate_ammonite4.jpg?v=1774288656","url":"https:\/\/paxtongate.com\/products\/cleoniceras-ammonite-fossil","provider":"Paxton Gate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
