Description from the seller
Aioloceras Sp. - Early Cretaceous (145–100.5 million years ago) — Natural grouping of iridescent ammonites of the genus Cleoniceras Albian – Lower Cretaceous, Madagascar
An elegant natural composition that encloses numerous specimens of the genus Cleoniceras, extinct cephalopods that lived about 110 million years ago. The shells, beautifully preserved, show extraordinary mother-of-pearl iridescence, with hues ranging from pink to green, from gold to violet, depending on the incidence of light. Each ammonite is wound in a regular planispiral spiral, with chambers visible in the cleaned rear section, where the complex sutures stand out, illustrating the evolutionary refinement of this group. The block is completely natural, coming from a fossil-bearing formation in the southwest region of Madagascar, one of the world’s best-known areas for spectacular preservation of iridescent ammonites. The piece combines aesthetic value, chromatic rarity, and paleontological interest. Mounted in an autonomous position, it can be exhibited in scientific collections, natural curiosity galleries, or as a fossil sculpture for interior decoration.

Seller's Story
The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements.
Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past".
