Vintage sterling silver and ammonite fossil clip-ons. Ammonoids are a group of extinct marine molluscs that lived 60-240 million years ago and entered extinction along with the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous Period. Finding these coiled fossils to resemble the curled horn of a ram, Pliny the Elder dubbed them ammonis cornua or "horns of Ammon" after the horned Egyptian god.
