Original price was: £36.00.Current price is: £32.40.

This stunning cut and polished fossil is a specimen of Metalegoceras sundaicum, a true ammonoid from the Lower Permian period, originating from East Timor, Indonesia. This genus belongs to the extinct order Goniatitida, and this particular species lived during the early part of the Permian era, approximately 290 to 270 million years ago.

Ammonoids like Metalegoceras are ancient marine cephalopods that predate the better-known Jurassic and Cretaceous ammonites. They had tightly coiled, chambered shells, and their internal structures are often beautifully preserved. This specimen has been expertly cut and polished, revealing the intricate internal suture patterns and fossilised chamber detail that define its beauty and geological significance.

The fossil comes from Permian marine deposits found in the region of East Timor—one of the few known locations where this particular species has been found. The shell’s cross-section displays complex geometry and mineral replacement that occurred during fossilisation, creating a captivating and natural work of art.

Permian Information

The Permian Period (299–252 million years ago) was a time of dramatic climate shifts and evolutionary advancements, marking the end of the Paleozoic Era. Initially, the climate was warm and humid, supporting vast conifer forests and swampy environments, but it gradually became drier as the supercontinent Pangaea fully formed. This led to the expansion of early reptiles, including synapsids like Dimetrodon, which were distant ancestors of mammals. Amphibians thrived in wetlands, while the first conifer trees became dominant. In the oceans, ammonites, brachiopods, and early sharks flourished. However, the Permian ended with the largest mass extinction in Earth’s history, the Permian-Triassic Extinction, wiping out nearly 90% of marine species and 70% of land species, paving the way for the rise of dinosaurs in the Triassic.
