Amazing Ammolite Benefits You Didn't Know About
The ammolite gemstone has been discovered recently. During the late 18th century, ammolite-bearing rocks were discovered in the Bearpaw Formation in the southern Alberta region of Canada. In the initial days, this gemstone was valued for its fossil content, and it was not recognized as a gemstone. However, things took an interesting turn when in the 1960s, a Canadian miner named Mike Evernden recognized the gemological potential of ammolite and started promoting it as a gemstone.

The ammolite gemstone used in Sagacia's ammolite earrings is mined from the Bearpaw Formation that stretches between Canada and the United States of America. This particular location goes through Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Montana.

Sagacia’s Statement Ammolite Earring
The ammolite gemstone used in Sagacia’s ammolite earrings is mined from the Bearpaw Formation that stretches between Canada and the United States of America. This particular location goes through Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Montana. Although you will find ammonite fossils all over the world, only specific geological conditions create gem-grade ammolite which are limited to certain areas. Some people who sell ammolite jewelry such as ammolite earrings source this gemstone from England and Madagascar, but the main problem with this particular grade of ammolite is, that it is more fragile, and it has a dull coloring. Ammolite is a gemstone filled with magical healing properties. The signature iridescence of ammolite has caused people to nickname this beautiful stone “Seven Color Prosperity Stone” in Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese practice of balancing energy flow through arranging the space.

Ammolite Rings: The Stone of Fortune
Aragonites inside fossilized ammonite shells give rise to the stunning organic stone known as ammolite. One of these biogenic gemstones, ammolite, comes in red and green colors and has a yellow tint when exposed to ultraviolet light. Only the Bearpaw Formation in the USA, which extends from the south to Montana in the USA and Alberta to Saskatchewan in Canada, contains ammolite. Southern Alberta's high-energy river streams that run along the foothills of the Rockies are where you can find the best ammolite. Natural and enhanced ammolite stones come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, and they are set in sterling silver to make ammolite jewelry. Ammolite jewelry is ideal for expressing your individuality and style and adding a dash of sophistication and elegance to any outfit. Each piece of ammolite is unique and has its significance and symbolism; it also makes a unique gift for someone special. More than just jewelry, ammolite is a work of history and art that you can wear and treasure for years.

Terminonatator ponteixensis
Art by: NefarusYul, https://www.deviantart.com/nefarusyul/art/The-last-swimmer-297463178
Name: Terminonatator ponteixensis
Name Meaning: Last swimmer
First Described: 2003
Described By: Sato
Classification: Chordata, Tetrapoda, Reptilia, Sauropterygia, Plesiosauria, Elasmosauridae
Here’s another elasmosaurid, Terminonatator lived in what is now Canada. It is currently considered to be the very last elasmosaurid from the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous due to its very late appearance in the fossil record. We have a fossil specimen retrieved from the Bearpaw Formation that comes from a young adult. We know it was a young adult due to the fact that it had fused vertebrae, but in other parts of its bones, there isn’t any fusion, so it was still on the young side. In addition, this fossil specimen had a healed injury found on its thigh which may have been caused possibly by another marine reptile or even shark. Paleontologists did find 150 gastroliths in Terminonatator. Gastroliths may have helped this plesiosaur completely digest its meals such as fish.
