CLEONICERAS Iridescent Fossil Ammonite Mother of Pearl Shell Lower Albian Cretaceous Madagascar Genuine

£18.00

Own a magnificent piece of Earth’s history with this CLEONICERAS iridescent fossil ammonite, showcasing a naturally preserved Mother of Pearl shell. This stunning fossil comes from the Lower Albian Stage of the Early Cretaceous Period (approximately 113 to 110 million years ago) and was excavated from the world-famous fossil beds of Mitsinjo, Madagascar.

Geology & Origin:

Mitsinjo, Madagascar, during the Early Cretaceous, was part of a warm, shallow sea that supported diverse marine life.

Cretaceous Information

The Cretaceous Period (145–66 million years ago) was the final era of the Mesozoic, marked by the dominance of dinosaurs and the rise of flowering plants. It had a warm, greenhouse climate, with high sea levels that created vast shallow inland seas. Marine life flourished, including mosasaurs, ammonites, and rudist reefs, while the land was ruled by iconic dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Spinosaurus. Mammals and birds diversified, and insects thrived. The period ended with the mass extinction event, likely caused by an asteroid impact, wiping out the dinosaurs and paving the way for the rise of mammals in the Cenozoic.
