Tethys Ocean Fossil - SOLD 2.84" Ammonite Shell devonian 000 years ago so colorsThe Tethys Ocean was an ancient sea that emerged out of Pangea in the Triassic period. For millions of years, it was filled with aquatic animals like ammonites, plesiosaurs, and ichthyosaurs. As tectonic plates crashed against each other though, the bedrock of the ocean was lifted thousands of feet above sea level. This brought about the end of the Tethys and created many mountain ranges within Eurasia. This specimen is a 2. 84" fossil ammonite shell
