Perisphinctes Ammonite
Perisphinctes ammonites represent one of paleontology's most captivating specimens, distinguished by their intricate ribbed spirals and elegant chambered architecture. These ancient cephalopods inhabited Earth's oceans throughout the Jurassic period, approximately 240 to 65 million years ago, before their extinction coincided with that of the dinosaurs. Named after Ammon, the ram-horned deity of antiquity, these marine predators were sophisticated swimmers and formidable hunters that dominated prehistoric seas. Related to contemporary nautiluses, octopuses, and squid, ammonites exemplify the remarkable diversity of ancient marine life. This 85mm Madagascar specimen offers a tangible connection to the Mesozoic Era's oceanic splendor.
