Description from the seller
The Cleoniceras ammonites from the Early Cretaceous, found in the rocks of Madagascar, transport us back in time. These Albian fossils are essential for scientists seeking to understand the evolution of ammonites and the paleogeography of the ancient ocean. Their natural beauty also makes them objects of great collecting interest.
The fossil ammonites Cleoniceras, with their unique shapes and decorative ridges, are the perfect choice for those looking to create an environment that blends the ancient and the modern. These fossils are ideal for architects and interior designers who want to add an element of historical charm to their projects.
Cleoniceras, belonging to the suborder Ammonitina, is one of the most well-known and studied ammonites in the fossil record. Its shell is compact and coiled, with characteristic ribbing that develops in a regular pattern. These fossils serve as a reference point for dating sedimentary rocks from the Cretaceous and contribute to our understanding of marine biodiversity during that era.
