Very Large Perisphinctes Ammonite

Product description

A very large, white, and beautifully defined Perisphinctes Ammonite from the Tulear Region of Madagascar. It dates from the Mesazoic Era, Upper Jurassic Series, Oxfordian Epoch, and is between 161m to 155m years old.
 
Good quality specimens of this creature are becoming more rare, due to the fact that the remaining specimens are now much deeper in the earth, and therefore much harder to dig out. Because of this the majority of finds are of a lower quality.



A large fossil like this is not the norm.
 
This species is very popular for interior decor, due to its white colouration and well defined shape.
 
We can mount the ammonite should the customer request this service.
