PECTINAITES PECTINATUS Ammonite Fossil Upper Kimmeridgian Jurassic Madagascar Genuine Specimen

This listing features a genuine and well-preserved PECTINAITES PECTINATUS fossil, a visually striking ammonite from the Upper Kimmeridgian Stage of the Late Jurassic Period (approximately 152 to 157 million years ago). This stunning specimen was recovered from the fossil-rich marine strata of Madagascar, a globally recognised locality for high-quality Jurassic ammonites.

Geology & Origin:

During the Upper Kimmeridgian, Madagascar was part of a warm, shallow seaway that supported a rich marine ecosystem. Ammonites like Pectinites pectinatus thrived in these nutrient-rich waters. Following death, their shells were buried by fine marine sediments, enabling exceptional fossilisation. These layers are now among the most productive for decorative and scientific ammonite specimens.

Fossil Type & Species:

Type: Fossil Ammonite (Extinct marine mollusc)

Species: Pectinites pectinatus

Preservation: Excellent, with clearly defined ribbing and coiling detail

Features:

100% genuine, natural fossil specimen

Includes a Certificate of Authenticity
