This fossil is a 100% genuine Opalised Cleoniceras Ammonite. Discovered in the Mahajanga jungle in Madagascar, it’s from the Lower Albian stage of the Cretaceous era about 120 million years ago.
Cleoniceras is a well-known genus of ammonite distinguished by its finely ribbed, tightly coiled shell, which has a near-perfect logarithmic spiral reflective of the Fibonacci sequence found across nature.
These marine cephalopods thrived in warm, shallow, silica-rich seas, where the organic material was replaced by the surrounding minerals to become these remarkable ammonite fossils that are known for their distinctive opalised mother of pearl like finish.
You will receive this exact fossil as seen in the images, which measures approximately 30 x 20 x 15mm (1.25 x 0.75 x 0.5 inches). (Code: CAEBAYB). This ammonite fossil shows minor
erosion, typical of prehistoric specimens. The fossil
is presented in an elegant black cardboard gift box, which is 78 x 60 x 25mm,
for display purposes and to keep it safe - it also contains an information
label giving a certified description of the contents.
