Description from the seller

Cleoniceras Fossil – The Echo of the Lost Abysses
This splendid Cleoniceras ammonite, originating from Madagascar, is a fossil that carries the breath of Cretaceous oceans, when marine life thrived and ammonites roamed the seas as silent rulers. Today, petrified and transformed into a natural work of art, it preserves its harmonious spiral intact: an eternal symbol of balance and cyclicality. The sutures, finely intertwined and resembling plant branches, create an extraordinary graphic effect, almost like embroidery etched by the patience of time. The colors, ranging from golden brown to copper, from gray to honey, add depth and movement, as if the fossil were still traversed by waves of marine light. Mounted on a sturdy base of wood and brass, the ammonite takes on a sculptural and decorative character: a bridge between science and aesthetics, capable of enriching collections and environments with its imposing and refined presence. The Cleoniceras is an authentic fragment of natural history, an extinct creature that has found new life in stone. Every detail tells of millions of years of geological transformations, making this fossil not only an object of admiration but also a guardian of ancestral memories, an invitation to contemplate the infinite cycle of nature.
Ammonite dimensions: 149 x 184 x 41 mm
