They are more closely related to a living octopus, though the shells resemble that of a nautilus. Ammonites thrived during the Cretaceous period and appeared in the fossil record about 240 million years ago; a massive ocean covered what is now Madagascar - teeming with life. Over time, they passed on, and their shells were fossilized. Now we can find these fossils preserved in sedimentary rock. Handmade in the USA in our Detroit, Michigan studio.
