Cleoniceras Iridescent Fossil Ammonite with Mother of Pearl Shell – Lower Albian, Cretaceous – Madagascar

This listing is for a stunning Cleoniceras fossil ammonite, exhibiting a beautiful natural mother of pearl iridescence. This specimen originates from the Lower Albian stage of the Early Cretaceous Period, approximately 113 to 100 million years ago, and was found in the fossil-rich deposits of Madagascar.

Cleoniceras is a highly recognisable genus of ammonite, famed for its finely ribbed, tightly coiled shell structure and captivating colour when polished to reveal the preserved nacreous (mother of pearl) layer. During the Lower Albian, these marine cephalopods thrived in warm, shallow seas, leaving behind beautifully preserved shells that have become some of the most visually striking fossils available today.

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.
