Description from the seller

Splendid fossil of Cleoniceras with extraordinary quality of its suture chambers, true masterpieces of nature carved in geological time. The polished surface of the Cleoniceras highlights these extraordinary features, making visible the harmonious details that differentiate this genus from other varieties of ammonites. Aragonite and calcite, the main minerals composing the fossil, give it an almost mirror-like luster that further accentuates the complexity and precision of the sutures, transforming each fossil into an object of rare beauty and great scientific and collector's value.
