Perisphinctes Ammonite

Product Information

Ammonites are perhaps the most widely known fossil, possessing a typically ribbed spiral-form shell. They lived in the seas between 240 - 65 million years ago, when they became extinct along with the dinosaurs. The name 'ammonite' originates from the Greek Ram-horned god called Ammon. Ammonites belong to a group of predators known as cephalopods, which includes their living relatives the octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus.

These Perisphinctes Ammonites were found in Madagascar and lived approximately 110 million years ago.
