THE ” WAVE HORN ” AND ITS PARTNER

During the Upper Jurassic period, there lived a pair of ammonites whose bizarre appearance could hardly be surpassed. The much smaller male is usually barely a centimeter tall and has a keel studded with spikes, giving it an almost warlike appearance. The corresponding female is about five times the size and is almost unsurpassed in elegance. Its keel is gently curved in soft waves – hence the name “Wave Horn”.
