Source: archive.org: Pratima Kosa Encyclopedia of Indian Iconography - Vol 6Lakṣmīnṛsiṃha (लक्ष्मीनृसिंह) refers to one of the many varieties of the Śālagrāma (ammonite fossil stones).—The Lakṣmī-nṛsiṃha is black in colour; wide opening (vistṛtāsya); two cakras on the left side; two spots; vanamālā mark. Śālagrāma stones are very ancient geological specimens, rendered rounded and smooth by water-currents in a great length of time. They (eg., Lakṣmī-nṛsiṃha stones) are distinguished by the ammonite (śālā, described as “vajra-kīṭa”, “adamantine worms”) which having entered into them for residence, are fossilized in course of time, leaving discus-like marks inside the stone.
