Ammonite Fossil Pair

The perfect pair! This Cleoniceras Ammonite pair comes from Madagascar. Ammonites are an extinct group of sea creatures that thrived during the Cretaceous Period approximately 110 million years ago. The Ammonite shells are cut or split in half and polished to display the beautiful mineralization which has occurred within their growth chambers.

Calcite began to infill the once hollow growth chambers, with some chambers completely filled with Calcite, while others still exhibit individual Calcite crystal pockets. The Calcite crystals will even fluoresce under exposure to a UV flashlight!

On the exterior of the shell, a lovely natural red rainbow iridescence can be seen along with other fossils which became encased in sediment. This fossil looks so lovely from different angles and orientations, there is always a new display possibility to explore!

Each Side of Pair Approx. 3.9" H x .5" Deep x 2.9" W 

Need a display stand?
