Colorful Ammonite Cut Pair. Ammonites were early mollusks that somewhat resembled an octopus or squid living within a protective shell and are the closest relative to the chambered nautilus which still exists today. This specimen contains both halves of a 5.5 inch in diameter 110 million year old ammonite, Cleoniceras from the large island of Madagascar. This ammonite has been cut in half and polished to reveal the detail and beauty of the inner chambers. The beautiful large 5.5 inch ammonite has inner chambers that are open revealing cream colored sutures or filled with root beer colored calcite or clear quartz crystals. Two plastic stands are included for display.
Estimated Value $400 - 500.
