Ammonites<\/b> are a group of extinct molluscs which somewhat resembled a shelled squid when they were alive.
These ancient sea creatures had tentacles like the modern octopus, and spiral shells like Nautilus creatures.<\/p>\n

They first appeared on the fossil record 240 million years ago, in the Triassic Period, and died out 65 million years ago with the dinosaurs during the Cretaceous-Tertiary Mass Extinction Event.
The fossilised remains of these sea creatures are perhaps the most popular fossils on the market today.<\/p>\n

This particular ammonite is a member of the Cleoniceras species of ammonites. <\/b><\/p>\n

Scientific classification:<\/b>
Kingdom:Animalia
Phylum:Mollusca
Class:Cephalopoda
Subclass:Ammonoidea
Order:Ammonitida
Superfamily:Hoplitaceae
Family:Hoplitidae
Genus:Cleoniceras
Species: Cleoniceras sp.<\/p>\n

Era: Mesozoic
Period: Cretaceous
Origin: Mahajanga (Madagascar)
Description: Iridescent Ammonite. No restorations, 100% natural.<\/p>\n

Cleoniceras is a rather involute, high-whorled hoplitid from the Lower to basal Middle Albian of Europe, Madagascar, and the Transcaspian region. The shell has a generally small umbilicus, arched to acute venter, and typically at some growth stage, falcoid ribs that spring in pairs from umbilical tubercles, usually disappearing on the outer whorls.<\/p>\n

Cleoniceras is included in the subfamily Cleoniceratinae.<\/b><\/p>\n
