Sculpted Stone

This is a beautiful display fossil. It is a huge, I mean HUGE Cleoniceras cleon ammonite from the Cretaceous of Madagascar. This impressive ammonite has been cut in half and both halves have been highly polished for optimal display. The coiling pattern of the cepahlopod is easily seen, and the individual chambers of the ammonite are wonderfully showcased. MANY of the chambers are hollow and lined with beautiful calcite crystals, like miniature geodes. And the impressive ammonite is complete down to its tiniest inner whorls. The enormous size of the specimen (almost a foot across!), combined with its exquisite quality and striking, natural coloration, makes for a gorgeous exhibit. This is an eye-popping display fossil, perfect for any fossil collection or one's home or office.

A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS is included with this specimen.
