Description

Polished Ammonite Fossil
Cleoniceras sp.
Cretaceous
Madagascar
2.68 x 2.11 x 0.78 inches (6.80 x 5.35 x 1.98 cm)

This polished Ammonite fossil reveals intricate suture patterns in striking contrast against warm shades of amber, caramel, and golden brown. The spiraled shell displays a scalloped outer edge and a fine polish that enhances the clarity of the complex internal chamber divisions. Delicate mineral infill highlights the ornamental geometry of the sutures, creating an almost botanical effect. The reverse shows additional detail with a more natural texture, preserving elements of the original fossil surface. This is an attractive and well-prepared example of a classic Ammonite, ideal for display in any fossil or natural history collection.
