36" Eye-Catching, Cut & Polished Ammonite Fossil Coffee Table

Eye-Catching, Cut & Polished Ammonite Fossil Coffee Table #244470

This is a unique, eye-catching coffee table made from real, cut & polished ammonite fossils. The 110 million year old ammonite fossils have been cut in half to reveal their inner chambers and mounted in epoxy to create the solid tabletop. The agate replaced ammonite fossils are quite striking with their varying color combinations.

The table top itself measures 36 x 24" and the table stands 17" tall with its metal base.

Ammonites were predatory mollusks that resembled a squid with a shell. These cephalopods had eyes, tentacles, and spiral shells. They are more closely related to a living octopus, though the shells resemble that of a nautilus. True ammonites appeared in the fossil record about 240 million years ago. The last lineages disappeared 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous.
