 Description:
This spectacular ammonite is a Cleoniceras besairei from Madagascar
which has been split in half and polished to show the wonderful
detail within. Some of the individual chambers are open and filled
with rich mahogany-colored Calcite crystals, with the septa (divisions)
between each chamber preserved as white 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. |
