 Description:
This spectacular ammonite is a member of the species Phylloceras
from
Madagascar which has been split in half and polished to show the
wonderful detail within. A number of the individual chambers are
open and filled with rich gray/cream/gray Calcite crystals, with
the septa (divisions) between each chamber preserved as gray-green
Calcite, making for a superb display piece. This is a fine example
of an ammonite from the Albian (112 m.y.a) deposits of Madagascar,
one that is sure to be a fine addition to any ammonite collection. |
