We offer an exceptional selection of AMMONITE AND ORTHOCERAS FOSSILS, available both in our gallery and online at www.electricbuffalogallery.com.
Ammonite fossils, characterized by coiled, chambered shells, represent extinct marine cephalopods that are linked to modern squid and octopuses and lived over 400 million years ago, ultimately vanishing with the dinosaurs 66 million years ago.
Metaphysically, ammonite fossils impart a sense of motivation and resilience filtering out negative doubts and fears. This type of fossil is an excellent tool for introspective meditation and the organic spiral shape draws in luck and opportunity.
Orthoceras fossils are the remnants of extinct, squid-like cephalopods that existed from approximately 488 to 200 million years ago, predominantly during the Ordovician Period. The name 'straight horn' refers to these ancestors of the nautilus and octopus, which resided within long, straight conical shells frequently found in polished black limestone from Morocco.
Orthoceras is regarded metaphysically as a significant grounding aid, synchronizing users with ancient earth energies to enhance wisdom, stability, and growth, with its root chakra connection offering calming and protective benefits.
