This is a natural Orthocerra fossil that has been hand wrapped using sterling silver wire.  There are such amazing patterns on this incredibly old sea creature.  You can see the swooping bands that rest next to a darker section of almost black. There are 2 very distinct sides to this amazing Orthocera fossil pendant.  The front of this fossil has been brought to a smooth shimmering shine that is simply divine for your fingers to explore.  The back is natural and feels somewhat like a soap stone (it's an interesting texture). 

This is an actual fossil of an ancient creature called Orthocera or Orthocerida.  Your fossil comes ready to wear on a black cord (approx. 20 inches in length) with a clasp.  If you'd prefer another length, just let us know when ordering in the options field of your shopping cart.  The wire is used is sterling silver. 

An Orthocera is an ancient marine mollusk that had large eyes and a well developed head.  It lived over 450 million years ago in the late Triassic period.  The surface of this fossil is polished and smooth - there is a lot of great detail. 

It's shell was long and straight and somewhat curved.  Some feel that these creatures may have been similar to our modern day squid.   Like modern cephalopods, they would have used jet propulsion to move in the water. Most likely they would not have been very agile with their long bulky shells. 

This pretty fossil has a lot of character.  The center has a diving V that holds thin patterns of this tiny sea creature.  You can see this V is surrounded by darker sections that create an eye catching display for your eyes.  There are 2 very distinct sides to this amazing Orthocera fossil pendant.  The front of this fossil has been brought to a smooth shimmering shine that is simply divine for your fingers to explore.  The back is natural and feels somewhat like a soap stone (it's an interesting texture).

The Yak is a sacred and holy animal in Tibet.   Throughout the ages, the nomadic tribes of this area have had a relationship with the Yak as a pack animal.  People in this area believe that once the Yak passes from this world, its elements will transform into the sun, moon, stars, mountains, forests and rivers.

Yakbone represents the Yak's long-lasting spirit and helps to bring joy and courage into your life. 

What you see in the photograph is an actual Brachiopod fossil.  It has semi polished and has the most incredible textures for your fingers to walk over.  This is an actual ancient sea creature that has been turned into a piece of jewelry and wrapped in sterling silver wire.

A Brachiopod (or Brachiopoda)  is a small invertebrate marine animal that has been around since the Cambrian Period (570 million years ago).

When you look at this fossil, you can see that both sides are the same.  That is what helps to identify this particular animal.  The bottom of the Brachiopod has a small groove where it was originally attached to the ocean floor by means of a fleshy "stalk" or pedicle.   The internal anatomy of brachiopod is different from a clam. Brachiopods have a coiled feeding organ called a lophophore and usually stayed in one place during its adult lifetime.
