Ammonites were cephalopods that resembled a squid with a shell. The predatory mollusks had eyes, tentacles, and spiral shells resembling a nautilus shell. They are closely related to an octopus without the shell. They existed for approximately 175 million years, appearing in the fossil record about 240 million years ago with the last descendants disappearing from the record 65 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous period.

Our interest in art began in the 1980s, but it wasn’t until Sheridan launched Other Options Design to offer custom bases to dealers and collectors that we became enamored with the artistry, range, and sheer beauty of tribal objects. Since then, our business has blossomed into its current iteration: Morgan Oakes Gallery, offering a curated collection of Tribal and Contemporary art objects and antiques, and Other Options Design Studio, now both located in a singular destination.
