Ammonite

For our 50th wedding anniversary my youngest sister gave my husband and I £50 each to spend on whatever took our fancy. We went to Acorn Antiques where they have some amazing things at incredibly cheap prices. One of the purchases I made on my behalf was an ammonite. It is believe to be genuine, I am very pleased with it.

Re: Ammonite

If mine is genuine as I believe it to be it is a minimum and 65 million years old, which is when they died out. WOW!

My eldest daughter would love to have it, but says she bags it when I am dead.

Re: Ammonite

Fantastic Tara, we do have a small Fossil but not as nice as that.

Re: Ammonite

Whatever floats your boat I guess.
Enjoy having many hours of fun watching your ammonite, Tara

Re: Ammonite

That’s interesting Tara, my grandson would be interested in that, he loves things like that.

A good choice of yours.

Re: Ammonite

As well as the ammonite I purchased a small wooden chest, a large round wooden plaque and 4 daleks. The daleks were probably made in 1963 when Dr Who first went on air. My Baby Sister reckons they might one day pay for my care home fees.
