Description

Scenographic composition featuring a large Cleoniceras of 47 cm, an exceptional specimen in size and completely restoration-free. The living chamber is fully preserved, a rare feature in specimens of this size.

The visible fractures are natural and originate from sediment compaction; the surface has only been polished, without the use of resins.

Around the main shell an aesthetic mounting has been created with authentic iridescent ammonites, all with original aragonite.

The display is supported by a base and a detachable rod without tools, allowing both vertical exposition and easy placement on a surface or inside a display case.

A piece with strong visual impact, suitable for advanced collections, executive spaces, or interior design solutions.

Note: I no longer ship to the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Buyers from these countries may still place offers, but must provide a delivery address in another country.
