Mesmerizing Perisphinctes Ammonite Fossil – A Window into the Ancient Seas!

Travel back in time with the remarkable Perisphinctes Ammonite Fossil, an extinct genus of ammonite cephalopod that flourished approximately 163 million years ago during the lower Jurassic period.

Ammonites, known for their distinct spiral-shaped shells, are among the most iconic and recognizable fossils in the world. Despite their resemblance to snail shells, these intriguing creatures are not related to snails at all. Ammonites were marine animals that inhabited the seas between 240 and 65 million years ago. While they may bear resemblance to modern-day nautiluses, these molluscs are actually more closely related to living coleoids, such as octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish!

The size variation among ammonites is truly astonishing, ranging from mere millimeters to colossal fossils measuring an incredible 8 feet 96 inches in diameter.
