Here is a beautiful ammonite. It is a Cleoniceras cleon from the Cretaceous of Madagascar. This ammonite is extremely 3-dimensional in preservation. Both sides of the sharp-keeled ammonite have been highly polished to reveal the intricate suture pattern of the cephalopod - the ornate suture pattern is wonderfully displayed on both sides. The white sutures are very striking against the golden-brown background of the ammonite. This is a very pretty example of Cleoniceras from the Cretaceous.
