1 1/4 - 1 3/4" Polished Ammonite Fossils - Madagascar

These are beautiful, polished Cleoniceras ammonite fossils from the Mahajanga Province, Madagascar. The polishing allows for the distinctive "oak leaf" suture pattern that lies underneath the shell of the ammonite to be seen.

These ammonites range from 1 1/4 to 1 3/4" in width with most in the middle of the size range. The photos are representative of the ammonites you will receive but are not the exact specimens. Quantity discounts are available.

Ammonites were predatory cephalopod mollusks that resembled squids with spiral shells. They are more closely related to living octopuses, though their shells resemble that of nautilus species. True ammonites appeared in the fossil record about 240 million years ago during the Triassic Period. The last lineages disappeared 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous.
