$18.00 FO608c  Here is a very nicely polished one half of a beautiful Ammonite from Madagascar.   This Ammonite has been polished to show the inner beauty.  The section measures nearly 3" x 2 1/2" x 1/4" and has a nice polish on the inner side. The Ammonite has a deep Brown crystallized center of Calcite and Aragonite.

Ammonites are extinct members of the cephalopod group of mollusks. Only a limited number of species have survived to the present day which includes the squid and the chambered nautilus. Ammonites had a multi-chambered shell, and added more chambers as it grew, always living in the outer chamber.  They lived in the Cretaceous period some 63 to 130 million years ago.

$95.00 FO602b  This is an extra large, above average quality specimen of Petrified Wood Slab from Madagascar.  It has been highly polished on one side and  measures 11" x 11" x 1/2".  The wood has a nice blend of Earth tone colors and has a very different, irregular shape and design. 

Petrified Wood is a type of a fossil as it consists of fossil wood where all the organic materials have been replaced with minerals while retaining the original structure of the wood.  These minerals are most often Silicates such as Quartz.  Other minerals, Manganese, Iron and Copper, in the water or mud during the petrification process give Petrified Wood a variety of color ranges: black - Carbon; green/blue - Copper; red/brown/yellow - Iron.  Petrified Wood can preserve the original structure of the wood in all its detail all the way down to the microscopic level.  Structures such as tree rings and the various tissues are often observed features.  Although Petrified Wood can be found worldwide, it is rather rare in larger quantities and at times can be difficult to obtain by the average collector.
