  • Cretaceous period, 110 million years ago.

This is a genuine fossil of the extinct ammonite genus Cleoniceras, dating back to the Cretaceous period (~110 million years ago). Ammonites were marine mollusks related to modern squids and octopuses, and are especially prized for its elegant spiral shell and beautiful preservation.

Fossils from Madagascar often show remarkable detail. When polished, the structure of these ammonites displays striking natural colors, ranging from creamy whites and browns to iridescent flashes.

PLEASE NOTE: small part is missing near the end of the shell, therefore lower in price

Ammonites like Cleoniceras moved through the oceans using jet propulsion, the same method used by squids today.
