This is a vintage decorative ammonite on plinth. An English, fossilised geological ornament on an oak base, dating to the late 20th century and much, much earlier.

Ammonites evolved in the ocean between 240,000,000 - 65,000,000 years ago and faced extinction alongside the dinosaurs. Ammonite comes from the Greek god Ammon, and was an ancient relative of modern cephalopods such as squid, nautilus and cuttlefish.
