Cleoniceras besairiei Ammonites
Geologic Time: Upper Early Cretaceous, Albian
Stage
Fossil Site: Mohajanga Province, Madagascar
Description:
24 ammonites, flatted in folups, with labels -- ready to show.
These ammonites retain there shells, unlike many ammonites which
are merely casts. Moreover, the shells have largely retained their
original iridescence. This results of light passing through the
various layers of aragonite and conchiolin deposited by the ammonite
in life. The lack of acidity in the depositional environment allowed
them to be so exquisitely preserved. The beatiful spectrum of
colors change with angle.
