More than 110 million years ago, this ancient Cleoniceras ammonite drifted through the warm tropical seas of the Early Cretaceous Period. Long before humans existed, these remarkable marine cephalopods thrived in prehistoric oceans while dinosaurs dominated the land above.

This authentic White Spine Ammonite from Madagascar preserves the iconic spiral shell and finely ribbed chamber structure that make ammonites some of the most admired fossils in the world. Natural fossilisation over millions of years has created soft cream and sandy tones across the surface, while subtle mineral inclusions and weathered textures give the fossil a beautifully ancient appearance. Its compact size and detailed preservation make it an ideal addition to any fossil collection.

Recovered near Sakaraha in Madagascar, a world-famous fossil locality, this specimen offers a genuine glimpse into Earth’s distant marine past. Every ammonite from this region is naturally unique, shaped by millions of years of geological history beneath ancient seabeds.
