FREE: Ammonite Tie Tac MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD !!!!!

The listing, Ammonite Tie Tac MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD !!!!! has ended.

Usually I list items as "new" or "used". This is an exception. The item, which can barely be seen in the last picture, is millions of years old!

It is an Ammonite fossil, highly polished and mounted on a tie tac. A perfect gift for someone who is a rock hound or science lover.

The last picture was difficult because of the small size of the item. So I have included the second stock picture of a polisheedn ammonite. The third stock pic shows how an unpolished fossil looks.

For your info:

The name Ammonite comes from the Greek ram-horn God called Ammon. Ammonites are the most widely known fossil; they are cephalopods and first appeared in the seas 415 million years ago, in the form of a straight shelled creature known as Bacrites. During their evolution three catastrophic events occurred. The first during the Permian period (250million years ago), only 10% survived. They went on to flourish throughout the Triassic period, but at the end of this period (206 million years ago) all but one species died. Then they began to thrive from the Jurassic period until the end of the Cretaceous period when all species of ammonites became extinct.
Ammonite fossils are found on every continent. And come in every naturally occurring color. Because of their rapid evolution and wide spread distribution they are an excellent tool for indexing and dating rocks. If an ammonite is found in clay the clay will preserve the Ammonites mother-of-pearl luster.
