Is this ammonite real or fake?


Recommended Posts

A friend of mine gave this to me recently and I was wondering if it was legitimate or not, because neither of us could easily tell.

Yes, it's a real Cleoniceras fom Madagascar. They're a dime a dozen so to speak, so not at all worth faking. It's not opalized, just shows the nacre.

Thanks for the quick reply. I know it isn't actual opal, it's just what it was advertised as. My main concern was whether or not it was a real fossil or not.
