Exclusive Polish Red and Cream Cleoniceras - Fossilised...

An ammonite fossilized of rare beauty, distinguished by its combination of vibrant red and beige tones, all wrapped in an elegant spiral form. The glossy surface, obtained through careful polishing, shows a pattern of veining that interweaves with the oxidation of minerals, particularly visible in the red and golden hues. This Cleoniceras ammonite, dating to the Early Cretaceous period (about 110-120 million years ago), offers an important testimony to prehistoric marine evolution. Originating from 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 for buoyancy control.
