Fossil Ammonite

This is a four photo shot of a fossilized ammonite that has been stitched together. A fairly common fossil, this ammonite was cut in two to reveal the spiral growth of the creature's shell which is visible. The growth cells have filled in with different materials which have become rock over the years - somewhere between 240 - 64 million years ago. Ammonite's became extinct with the dinosaurs.
