Large Cut & Polished Ammonite Pair - 115 Million Year Old Cretaceous Fossil (BF697)

£240.00 GBP

| /

A magnificent matched pair of Cleoniceras ammonites, expertly cut and polished to reveal the intricate internal chambers that once housed one of the ocean's most successful predators. Each half displays the mesmerizing spiral geometry and crystalline calcite chambers that have captivated collectors and naturalists for centuries.

These cephalopod molluscs ruled the Cretaceous seas alongside the dinosaurs, their coiled shells providing both protection and buoyancy control as they hunted the ancient oceans. The name 'ammonite' derives from the Egyptian god Ammon, typically depicted with ram's horns—a fitting tribute to these spiral-shelled wonders.

Specimen Details:

  • Period: Lower Cretaceous
  • Age: Approximately 115 million years
  • Origin: Madagascar
  • Size: 19 × 16 cm per half

This striking display piece brings the drama of deep time into your collection—a tangible connection to an era when these chambered nautiloids filled ecological niches from shallow reefs to the open ocean. Perfect for the discerning collector, natural history enthusiast, or as a statement piece in any cabinet of curiosities.
