This picture of an ammonite fossil up close shows their beautiful spiraling structure. In ancient times they were called “snake stones” or “serpent stones.” The stones were thought to have healing and oracular powers. Fossils of these once abundant, now extinct, marine molluscs are popular with collectors.
I love fossils.
Me too!
I love ammonites – the spirals are so perfect!
Yes, Sarah, beautifully perfect! 😄
