Ammonites are fossilised shells of extinct cephalopods and are equally important for the study of geology and palaeontology. Thanks to their great variety of forms and unique beauty, they are popular collectors' items. Ammonites were named "Ammons horns" after the ancient Egyptian god of life and reproduction, who was usually depicted with rams horns.
The group presented here is of the finest quality and shows no discernible restorations. The sculptural dimension of the ammonite is underlined by collar-like ornamentation which is typical of the "Fimbriati" group.

菊石组
丰饶角弛菊石(Lytoceras cornucopiae)里昂，贝尔蒙，法国侏罗纪，利亚斯托尔纪(1.83亿年)59 x 40 x 21 厘米
菊石是已灭绝的头足类动物的外壳化石，对地质学和古生物学的研究同样重要。由于它们的形式非常多样，而且具有独特的美感，所以是受欢迎的收藏品。菊石是以通常作为生命和生殖之神命名的古埃及公羊角来命名，被称为"公羊角"。这里展示的菊石组质量上乘，没有明显的修复痕迹。衣领状的装饰物强调了菊石的雕塑性尺寸，这是"Fimbriati"组的典型特征。
