ABOUT THE ITEM


AMONNITE-OCTOPUS THREE PIECES KIT SMOKING PIPE

The name Ammonite comes from the Greek ram-horn God called Ammon. Ammonites are the most widely known fossil; they are cephalopods and first appeared in the seas 415 million years ago, in the form of a straight shelled creature known as Bacrites. During their evolution three catastrophic events occurred. The first during the Permian period (250million years ago), only 10% survived. They went on to flourish throughout the Triassic period, but at the end of this period (206 million years ago) all but one species died. Then they began to thrive from the Jurassic period until the end of the Cretaceous period when all species of ammonites became extinct. Most ammonites have coiled shells. The chambered part of the shell is called a phragmocone. It contains a series of progressively layered chambers called camerae, which were divided by thin walls called septae. The last chamber is the body chamber. As the ammonite grew, it added new and larger chambers to the opened end of the shell. A thin living tube called a siphuncle passed through the septa, extending from the body to the empty shell chambers. This allowed the ammonite to empty water out of the shell chambers by hyperosmotic active transport process. This process controlled the buoyancy of the ammonite\'s shell. Ammonites were molluscs. Othe molluscsinclude snails, clams, squid, octopus and cuttlefish. Some ammonites grew more than three feet (one meter) across possible snack food for the giant mosasaurTylosaurus.

This was just a brief introduction of what Andrey Savenko created amazing “Ammonite-Octopus smoking pipe kit”. No doubt he studied the anatomy of this creation very carefully to get this brilliant idea to design and carve such a unique set.Coiled shell structure of the pipe is very remarkable; detailed attention on forming each Septa (chamber), and more interestingly coordinate all the Septas to make a final spiral shape of the Ammonite. The size of the pipe is very close to the standard size of the Ammonite fossils.The conch (shell) of the animal is the structure secreted by the mantle of ammonoids for protection and buoyancy. As you may see in the pictures the complete shell is a hollow spiral with two major sides and parts, the body chamber and the phragmocone. The shell that forms the cone is called the shell wall which is presented in the left side of Bowl Chamber. The Tamper exhibits the super spiral shape of being totally fit and match with the smoking pipe.

Ammonites are cephalopod molluscs, like squid and octopus. Cephalopod means ‘head-footed’ because the head and the typical mollusc foot form a single organ. Cephalopods are the most advanced molluscs. They are intelligent animals with large eyes and are voracious predators. As mentioned before some ammonites grew more than three feet (one meter) across. This is the idea behind the pipe stand concept; it expresses the feet of living Ammonite, and maybethe general shape of its related species Octopus.This item is reflecting his philosophy; principles and great idea together with the strong ability to form the three-dimensional concepts as an “Ammonite-Octopus Kit”.
