Description from the seller
Cleoniceras are ammonites that lived during the Albian, between 113 and 100 million years ago.
Here we have a stunning Cleoniceras ammonite, sectioned to reveal beautiful fossilized chambers in various colors, ranging from shades of yellow, orange, to brown.
The outer part of the shell, on the other hand, features iridescence caused by mother-of-pearl, creating beautiful plays of color.
A fascinating specimen that could become a very interesting object of study, as well as a beautiful piece of decor or a valuable addition to your collection.
Single Ammonite size: approximately 280×240×30 mm.
Total weight: 4050 g
Origin: Madagascar
Period: Jurassic
Note: the supports are not included in the auction. They were used solely to take the photographs.
