Ammonite
I found an amazingly detailed ammonite over 30 years ago in North Yorkshire. Using latex, I took an impression and created this pendant in .999 silver - approx 1.5 inches including bail. Polishing and burnishing has softened the detail of the silver version, but the lines on the original are incredibly crisp. I read somewhere that this little creature created about 13 chambers a year as it grew, and most lived around two years. How old does this make mine?
