Lot: 15 Lbs Perisphinctes Ammonite Fossils - 72 Pieces
This is a wholesale lot of 15 lbs of Late Jurassic Perisphinctes ammonite fossils from Sakaraha, Madagascar. There are approximately 72 pieces in the lot and the ammonites range from 2 to 3" wide with most being the middle of that range. These ammonites are unpolished and unworked in a rough state.
Ammonites were predatory cephalopod mollusks that resembled squids with spiral shells. They are more closely related to living octopuses, though their shells resemble that of nautilus species. True ammonites appeared in the fossil record about 240 million years ago during the Triassic Period. The last lineages disappeared 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous.
