Heteromorph: The Rarest Fossil Ammonites: Nature at its Most Bizarre
Ammonites dominated the sea before and during the time dinosaurs dominated the land. Some ammonites were large predators not unlike today's giant squid; others small and delicate. Three times during their reign of more than 300 million years ammonites experimented with the most bizarre and startling shell shapes. Now, new technology is revealing the full beauty of these 'heteromorph' ammonites and they have become some of the most desirable and passionately collected natural objects. This is their story - and how they are becoming a vibrant part of 21st century lifestyles, art and design. This book is a must for anyone interested in the wonders of the natural world, and their impact on our culture.
