Specimen: Perisphinctes ammonite fossil mounted on a refined wood and brass base from Madagascar, in perfect preservation.
Description from the seller
A Perisphinctes ammonite specimen comes from the rich fossil deposits of Madagascar and dates to the Late Jurassic, about 150 million years ago. The fossilized shell, characterized by an open, regular spiral, with thin, closely spaced ribs that follow the spiral’s curve, gives the fossil a unique charm. Each rib represents a fragment of growth and tells the story of this ancient mollusk, which lived in warm, tropical, shallow seas. The fossil is mounted on a wooden base, which enhances its organic structure and transforms it into an elegant collectible or decorative object. The solid wood base offers stability and a refined presentation, making this Perisphinctes a perfect choice to enrich any environment. The natural simplicity of the wood contrasts with the geometric complexity of the shell, highlighting the harmony between the art of nature and modern design.
