Description from the seller
Madagascar's Cleoniceras ammonites, dating to the Albian stage of the Early Cretaceous, are like "stone books" that narrate the history of life on Earth. With their well-defined shells, these fossils are fundamental to understanding the evolution of ammonites and the geology of Madagascar in the Cretaceous.
Architecture and interior design come to life with the addition of these Cleoniceras fossil ammonites. Their artistic shapes and shell characteristics are perfect for decorating residential and commercial spaces, conveying a sense of history and timeless beauty.
Cleoniceras is one of the most emblematic ammonite species of the Cretaceous. Their coiled shells are often adorned with a series of ornamental ribs. These fossils provide important information on the diversity of ammonites and their geographical distribution over the millions of years of Earth's history.
