AMMONITE: Fractal Gem

BY DAVID FEDERMAN, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

Mother Nature is an artist who loves to leave her marks on minerals. Sometimes, as in the case of agates and jaspers, she is a naturalist, painting landscapes of every description. Other times she is a symbolist, etching primal patterns on the surfaces of things. One of her favorite materials for symbolic designs during the past 400 million years was the ammonite, a predecessor of the modern-day chambered nautilus. Both are cephalopods, a marine phylum that includes the squid and octopus.
