Description from the seller

Ammonite Cleoniceras from Madagascar, characterized by a dark coloration predominantly due to the presence of Pyrite, contrasted by a very intense orange Aragonite.
The white sutures create a sharp contrast between the two crystallized minerals inside the fossil.
All well defined, just like the mouth prepared to have a very captivating three-dimensional effect.
A piece of history that can enrich an exclusive fossil collection.
Note: support not included

Dimension: 215×180×50 mm
Weight: 2200 g
