Beautiful ammonite with growth lines - Fossilised shell - Cleoniceras sp. - 16.2 cm - 13 cm

A beautifully preserved ammonite from Madagascar, dating to the Cretaceous period (approximately 100–120 million years ago). Expertly polished, this specimen reveals intricate suture patterns and fine growth lines in a striking palette of warm browns and creams. The surface is further enriched by dendritic-like inclusions, adding depth and texture to the fossil’s natural design. Ammonites, extinct marine cephalopods related to squids and octopuses, are among the most iconic fossils, valued both for their scientific significance and aesthetic appeal. This example captures the balance between natural history and artistry, making it an exceptional piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Origin: Madagascar Geological Age: Cretaceous (100–120 million years old) Stand: Clear acrylic display stand included
