Exlusive Rare Polish Red and Cleoniceras - Fossilised shell - Fossil Ammonite - 290 mm - 250 mm

Un ammonite fossilizzata di rara bellezza, che si distingue per la sua combinazione di tonalità vibranti di rosso e beige, il tutto racchiuso in un elegante formato spirale. La superficie lucida, ottenuta tramite un attento processo di lucidatura, mostra una trama di venature che si intrecciano con l'ossidazione dei minerali, particolarmente visibile nelle sfumature rosse e dorate. Questa ammonite Cleoniceras, risalente al periodo Cretaceo Inferiore (circa 110-120 milioni di anni fa), offre un'importante testimonianza dell'evoluzione marina preistorica. Originaria del Madagascar, questa specie visse in ambienti marini caldi e poco profondi. La sua conchiglia a spirale planispirale è un classico esempio di simmetria naturale e funzionalità, con camere settali che permettevano di controllare la galleggiabilità.

Exlusive Rare Polish Red and Cleoniceras - Fossilised shell - Fossil Ammonite - 290 mm - 250 mm

A fossilized ammonite of rare beauty, distinguished by its combination of vibrant red and beige hues, all enclosed in an elegant spiral format. The polished surface, obtained through a careful polishing process, shows a pattern of veins that intertwine with the oxidation of the minerals, particularly visible in the red and gold shades. This Cleoniceras ammonite, dating back to the Lower Cretaceous period (about 110-120 million years ago), offers an important testimony to prehistoric marine evolution. Native to Madagascar, this species lived in warm, shallow marine environments. Its planispiral spiral shell is a classic example of natural symmetry and functionality, with septal chambers that allowed it to control buoyancy.
