Description from the seller

Cleoniceras Ammonite – Beautifully Crystallized Pair

The reverse side of each half showcases delicate growth lines and subtle dendritic patterns, enhancing their visual depth and natural artistry. These ammonites, dating back to the Cretaceous period (around 110 million years ago), offer both scientific fascination and decorative elegance.

Perfect for collectors, interior display, or as a refined educational specimen.
