£ 46.80
All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of
Authenticity. Please note: Some fossils may be propped up for photo purposes. Specimen: Ammonite (Pair – Sliced & Polished) Genus (most likely): Cleoniceras sp. Age: Cretaceous Period (~110 million years ago) Location Found: Madagascar Scale cube = 1cm – Full sizing, please refer to the photo. Ammonites are among the most iconic and recognisable fossils in the world. These ancient marine cephalopods lived in the oceans between 240 and 65 million years ago and had beautifully coiled external shells. Though they resemble the modern-day nautilus, ammonites are more closely related to today’s squid, octopus, and cuttlefish. This particular specimen is a stunningly preserved pair, cut and polished to reveal the colourful internal chambers formed by mineral replacement over millions of years. Each half showcases the incredible structure and natural beauty of these once-living creatures, making them ideal for collectors, display, or educational use. About the Cretaceous Period and Madagascar Fossils: The Cretaceous period was the last era of the Mesozoic Era, known for the diversification of flowering plants and the dominance of dinosaurs. Ammonites were abundant during this time, especially in shallow tropical seas. Madagascar, with its rich fossil beds and excellent preservation conditions, is renowned for yielding ammonites with exceptional detail and colouration. ACTUAL AS SEEN: The image shows the EXACT specimen you will receive. Each item is carefully hand-selected and professionally photographed. While we strive for accurate measurements, please note that irregular shapes can make this challenging. Colour tones may vary depending on light conditions or device displays. Once this specimen is sold, we will update the listing with a new, similar item – each unique and selected for quality.
