Stunning 21" Tall Ammonite Cluster -
This is a huge cluster of Middle Cretaceous ammonites from Madagascar. The entire cluster is 21" tall and 19" wide. The largest ammonite is almost 8 inches wide. There are two species of ammonites present, most of them being Cleoniceras cleon. There are also at least two species of clams, some partial baculites, and several types of gastropods visible in the rock. It's a wonderful, natural association showing the diversity of the seas 110 million years ago.
The rock has been carefully sculpted to reveal as much detail as possible and the base is flat so that the piece stands up and displays very aesthetically. It looks great from every angle and would be an amazing display in a home, office or museum.
