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.
