Fossil Ammonite in Matrix - Fossil fragment - Perisphinctes in Nodulo - Madagascar - 134 mm - 113 mm
Ammonite fossil of the genus Perisphinctes embedded in its natural nodule, from Madagascar, one of the most famous regions for the quality and preservation of Upper Jurassic fossils.
Main features
Geological period: Upper Jurassic (about 150-160 million years ago).
Origin: Madagascar, known for its fossils preserved in limestone sediments.
Morphology:
Planispiral shell with all the spirals clearly visible.
Strong, regular ribs, with an arrangement that forks as it extends outwards, typical of Perisphinctes ammonites.
The shell is perfectly preserved, showing a natural unpolished structure, which highlights the paleontological details.
Unique features of the nodule
The fossil is enclosed in a limestone nodule that protects its original structure, preserving the natural context in which it was fossilized.
This nodule offers an authentic view of the fossil as it was found in nature, ideal for paleontology enthusiasts and collectors.
Scientific information
Perisphinctes ammonites were marine cephalopods belonging to the subgroup of ammonoids. Fossils of this genus are used as guide fossils, essential for determining the age of rock strata of the Upper Jurassic.
