Incredible, actual fossils called Ammonites inlaid with Abalone and set in sterling silver, these one of a kind earrings measure 24mm by 21mm (or 7/8" by 3/4"). They are available with your choice of a sterling silver latch back or sterling silver French back.

Ammonites were sea creatures that were related to modern day squids and octopuses. One of the main differences is that they lived inside of a shell. Their shell was made from aragonite which is the same substance that pearls are made of. As they grew larger, they added chambers and the empty chambers helped them float. They were very common during the age of the dinosaur, about 425 million years ago. They died out and became extinct 66 million years ago

Abalones are marine snails, basically. They have a flattish, disk like shell with circular openings for respiration. The majority of Abalone is found in the waters off of Australian, New Zealand, South Africa and Western North America.
