Description from the seller

Ammonite Cleoniceras from Madagascar, characterized by a dark coloration predominantly gray, contrasted by orange Aragonite portions and white suture lines.
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.
The fossils found in Madagascar date back to the period of the great mass extinction of the Cretaceous.
The ammonite exhibits a fracture running through the shell along its entire length, clearly visible in the photos. It has been professionally prepared and is of very high quality.
