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
