Description
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.
