Three Devonian Ammonites (Anetoceras) With Trilobite Heads

This is a 14.5" wide cluster of three nicely preserved Early Devonian ammonites (Anetoceras) along with several heads of phacopid trilobites. This is a natural association, not a composite and displays very aesthetically on the included display stand.

Ammonites were predatory cephalopod mollusks that resembled squids with spiral shells. They are more closely related to living octopuses, though their shells resemble that of nautilus species. True ammonites appeared in the fossil record about 240 million years ago during the Triassic Period. The last lineages disappeared 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous.
