This is an absolutely stunning specimen of Cleoniceras cleon from the Cretaceous of Madagascar. This large, 3-dimensional ammonite has been removed from the surrounding matrix and highly polished on both sides. The tiny inner whorls of the lenticular ammonite are easily seen, and the intricate suture pattern is beautifully displayed. The cream-colored suture lines contrast wonderfully with the golden-brown shell of the cephalopod. The size of the ammonite, the complex suture pattern, and the exquisite golden coloration make this a highly collectible ammonite fossil. (The white streak is in the photo and not on the specimen.)
