AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautifully preserved Cleoniceras ammonite from the Cretaceous period, featuring an expertly carved opening that reveals the complexity of its internal structure.
The creation of this “mouth” requires meticulous craftsmanship, as each cut must follow the natural geometry of the fossil without compromising its integrity.
Both sides of the ammonite display exceptional detail, with well-defined suture patterns and elegant growth lines that enhance its visual depth.
A striking and highly decorative specimen—perfect for collectors, interior displays, or natural history enthusiasts.
Comes complete with a clear display stand.
