Cleoniceras Ammonite

Cleoniceras Ammonite (113 to 100 million years ago)

Cleoniceras is an extinct genus of ammonite that lived in shallow marine environments during the Early Cretaceous. Belonging to the cephalopod class, it was a fast-moving predator related to modern squid and octopus. Its shell was typically smooth, planispiral, and sometimes displayed ribbing or striking iridescence, especially in specimens from Madagascar. These fossils can range from a few centimeters to over 15 cm in diameter and are often highly prized for their beauty. Cleoniceras is also important scientifically, serving as an index fossil to help date Albian-age rock layers and reconstruct ancient marine ecosystems.
