THE CRYSTAL MAMA

Ammonite~The word Ammonite is derived from the name of the Greek God “Ammon”, that appeared with ram’s horns on his head. Members of the Phylum Cephalopoda, these are the distant ancestors of the Chambered Nautilus. The animal that lived in these shells looked something like a Squid or an Octopus, with tentacles for grasping its food and moving around the ocean floor. It is speculated that Ammonites ate Trilobites and other small animals. There are several different species of Ammonites. Some species were more than four feet across in size, while others never got any bigger than a dime. Over 50,000 years old!
