Pectinaites pectinatus ammonite fossil upper kimmeridgian jurassic madagascar genuine specimen

Pectinaites pectinatus ammonite fossil upper kimmeridgian jurassic madagascar genuine specimen

£14.40

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
  • Hand-selected for scientific and display quality
  • The exact specimen shown in the listing photographs
  • Scale cube = 1cm: Please see photo for full sizing reference

Jurassic Information

The Jurassic Period (201–145 million years ago) was the golden age of dinosaurs, with iconic species like Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Allosaurus dominating the land. It was a time of warm, humid climates, with high sea levels that created vast shallow seas, supporting abundant marine reptiles, ammonites, and early coral reefs. The first birds, such as Archaeopteryx, evolved from small theropod dinosaurs, while early mammals remained small and nocturnal. Lush forests of cycads, conifers, and ferns covered the land, providing food for giant herbivores. The breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea accelerated, shaping Earth's geography and setting the stage for the diverse ecosystems of the Cretaceous.
