Cleoniceras Grycia Besaivei Fossil Ammonite Lower Albian Cretaceous Madagascar Collector Specimen Certificate

Original price was: £14.40.Current price is: £12.24.

Presenting a beautifully preserved CLEONICERAS GRYCIA BESAIVEI fossil ammonite, a genuine relic from the Lower Albian Stage of the Early Cretaceous Period (approximately 113 to 110 million years ago). This rare and exceptional fossil was discovered in the famous fossil beds of Mitsinjo, Madagascar.

Geology & Origin:

During the Lower Albian, Mitsinjo was submerged under shallow, warm seas that supported a diverse marine ecosystem. Ammonites like Cleoniceras grycia besaivei thrived in these ancient oceans. After death, rapid burial in fine sediments preserved their shells. This fossil is a stunning example of natural preservation from one of the world’s most important Cretaceous marine sites.

Description

Fossil Ammonite Identification

This listing features a Cleoniceras Grycia Besaivei fossil ammonite, identified as Lower Albian and Cretaceous. It is a distinctive addition for fossil collectors, ammonite enthusiasts, students of palaeontology, and anyone interested in the marine life of the Cretaceous. The supplied location is Mitsinjo, Madagascar.

Geological Context

The Lower Albian represents an interval within the Cretaceous Period. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern nautiluses, squids, and cuttlefish. Their coiled shells and often detailed chamber structures make them among the most recognisable and widely collected fossils. As fossils, ammonites are valued for their connection to ancient marine ecosystems and for the insight they provide into the diversity of extinct cephalopods.

Cleoniceras Grycia Besaivei

Cleoniceras Grycia Besaivei is presented here as a fossil ammonite from Madagascar. Its scientific name gives the specimen strong appeal for collectors who organise fossil displays by genus, species, geological age, or geographic association. The Lower Albian designation places this fossil within the Early Cretaceous portion of geological history, making it suitable for educational collections and displays focused on Cretaceous palaeontology.

The coiled ammonite form provides a natural focal point in a mineral and fossil cabinet, classroom collection, study display, or home office. Ammonites are also popular with collectors because each fossil reflects both the original shell and the geological processes that preserved it over deep time.

Location and Display Use

The associated location provided for this fossil is Mitsinjo, Madagascar. Madagascar specimens are popular among collectors because the island is recognised for its diverse and important fossil record. This piece can be displayed as a named ammonite fossil, incorporated into a geological collection, or used as a conversation piece for visitors interested in palaeontology and natural history.
