Description from the seller

XL Ammonite (Cleoniceras) – 30 cm / Circumference 85 cm – Albian

Description
a truly breathtaking and exceptionally large ammonite fossil of the species Cleoniceras. This XL specimen dates from the Albian (Early Cretaceous, approx. 113–100 million years old) and was found in Madagascar. A2

With an impressive width/diameter of 30 cm and a circumference of no less than 85 cm, this is an absolute showpiece for the serious collector or an exclusive prehistoric statement piece for a high-end interior.

Unique features:
Fractal suture lines: The entire surface is decorated with a fabulously beautiful and complex pattern of fern- or leaf-like lines (sutures). These are the fossilized walls separating the internal chambers, made wonderfully visible by expert polishing.

Finish: The ammonite has been beautifully polished all over to a smooth, mirror-like finish.

Shipping & Costs:
This valuable object will be packed with the utmost care and plenty of protective material. It will be shipped exclusively by registered mail and is 100% insured. Any customs duties, import taxes and/or other additional costs outside the Netherlands are entirely the buyer’s responsibility.
