Specimen: Giant Perisphinctes Fossil Ammonite
Fossil Type: Ammonite – Extinct Marine Cephalopod
Age: Middle Jurassic – Callovian Stage (~166 – 163 million years ago)
Geological Formation: Tulear Region, Madagascar
Size: Giant – 8 inches
Scale Cube = 1cm – Please refer to photo for accurate sizing
Includes Certificate of Authenticity
This RARE 8" Perisphinctes fossil ammonite is an extraordinary specimen from the Middle Jurassic Callovian deposits of Tulear, Madagascar, a globally renowned site for premium-quality ammonite fossils. Its size, preservation, and ribbed spiral morphology make it a stand-out piece for any fossil enthusiast or natural history collector.
Perisphinctes is a genus of extinct ammonite mollusks that flourished in the Jurassic seas around 166 to 163 million years ago. These cephalopods were free-swimming marine predators, with a shell structure that evolved for buoyancy and streamlined motion through the water. Their symmetrical ribbing and tight coiling make them especially attractive for both display and academic study.
What sets this particular specimen apart is its exceptional size and detail preservation. At 8 inches, it sits among the larger representatives of the genus—specimens of this calibre are significantly less common, making it an ideal centrepiece in any fossil display.
Fossils from the Tulear region are highly sought after for their superb quality and distinct coloration, a result of the mineral-rich Jurassic seabeds. This ammonite has been carefully cleaned and prepped, revealing the intricate suture lines and growth ribs typical of Perisphinctes ammonites.
ACTUAL AS SEEN:
The specimen shown in the photo is the exact fossil you will receive. This is not a stock image. The piece has been professionally hand-selected and documented for authenticity and accuracy. Please refer to the scale cube (1cm) for sizing. Colours may vary slightly depending on lighting and monitor settings.

Findings. When you have one of those moments... and realize (again) that there is just so much More... 🌎Evidence of other seashores, other lives... . . Perisphinctes is an extinct genus of ammonite cephalopod. They lived during the Late Jurassic Epoch, and serve as an index fossil for that time period. The Perisphinctes boweni ammonite was named after the English chemist and geologist E. J. Bowen. . . . #livethelittlethings #littlestoriesofmylife #momentslikethese #thehappynow #creativehappylife #chasinglight #beautiful #beautifuldestinations #neverstopexploring #photography #design #typography #wallart #nothingisordinary #everythingisbetter #letsgosomewhere #mytinyatlas #vsco #lifequotes #homedecor #flashesofdelight #chooselovely #thesimpleeveryday #howihue #write_on #sendmoremail #thanks #thisisforyou Thanks for taking a closer look.

These fossils are particularly valuable for biostratigraphic dating, allowing geologists to correlate Jurassic rock formations worldwide.
Perisphinctes (Dichotomoceras) luciaformis belonged to the subclass Ammonoidea, an extinct group of marine mollusks closely related to modern squids and octopuses. Ammonites were active swimmers, using their chambered shells for buoyancy control to move efficiently through prehistoric seas. Their ribbed shells provided protection against predators and reinforced their structural integrity.
