AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
3 Jurassic ammonites – Perisphinctes sp. – 20 cm the largest – Morocco
Lot consisting of three spectacular Jurassic ammonites from the fossil formations of the High Atlas (Morocco). The main specimen measures 20 × 20 × 10 cm and weighs 4,111 grams, accompanied by two other well-preserved ammonites, featuring their characteristic ribbed ornamentation.
These ammonites belong to the genus Perisphinctes sp., one of the most representative groups of the Middle to Upper Jurassic. Their radial ornamentation and the natural preservation of the internal calcite make them highly aesthetic pieces for collectors as well as for interior decoration, outdoor decorators, or natural decor. Large Perisphinctes specimens from Morocco are increasingly scarce at this size, making this set a very attractive lot.
