Fossil Ammonite in Matrix - Fossil fragment - Perisphinctes in Nodulo - Madagascar - 134 mm - 113 mm

Fossile di ammonite del genere Perisphinctes è incastonato nel suo nodulo naturale, proveniente dal Madagascar, una delle regioni più celebri per la qualità e la conservazione dei fossili del Giurassico superiore. Caratteristiche principali Periodo geologico: Giurassico superiore (circa 150-160 milioni di anni fa). Origine: Madagascar, noto per i suoi fossili conservati in sedimenti calcarei. Morfologia: Guscio planispirale con tutte le spire chiaramente visibili. Costolature robuste e regolari, con una disposizione che si biforca man mano che si estende verso l'esterno, tipiche delle ammoniti Perisphinctes. Il guscio è perfettamente preservato, mostrando una struttura naturale non lucidata, che evidenzia i dettagli paleontologici. Caratteristiche uniche del nodulo Il fossile è racchiuso in un nodulo calcareo che ne protegge la struttura originale, conservando il contesto naturale in cui si è fossilizzato. Questo nodulo offre una visione autentica del fossile così come è stato trovato in natura, ideale per appassionati di paleontologia e collezionisti. Informazioni scientifiche Le ammoniti Perisphinctes erano cefalopodi marini appartenenti al sottogruppo degli ammonoidi. I fossili di questo genere sono utilizzati come fossili guida, fondamentali per determinare l'età degli strati rocciosi del Giurassico superiore.

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.
