Name:
Nymboceras septum
Age: Cretaceous
Formation: Albian
Location: Madagascar
Size: Ammonite is over 8 inches across
This is an extremely large specimen of Nymboceras septum from the Cretaceous of Madagascar. This beautiful, 3-dimensional ammonite has been removed from the surrounding matrix and highly polished on both sides. The tiny inner whorls of the lenticular ammonite are easily seen, and the intricate suture pattern is beautifully displayed. The cream-colored suture lines contrast wonderfully with the deep brown shell of the cephalopod. The size of the ammonite, the complex suture pattern, and the exquisite color make this a highly collectible ammonite specimen. (The white streak is in the photo and not on the specimen.)
