£9.00 Original price was: £9.00.£8.10Current price is: £8.10.
This listing features a genuine Perisphinctes fossil ammonite from the Oxfordian Stage of the Late Jurassic, collected from the classic fossil-rich localities of Niegowonice/Ogndzemiec, Poland. Ammonites of this genus are renowned for their beautifully ribbed spiral shells, which served as buoyant chambers for life in Jurassic seas.
The specimen shown in the photo is the exact fossil you will receive, and the scale rule = 1cm per square/cube. Please see the image for complete sizing and detail.
Species & Classification:
- Genus: Perisphinctes
- Type: Fossil Ammonite (Extinct Marine Cephalopod)
- Order: Ammonitida
- Superfamily: Perisphinctoidea
- Family: Perisphinctidae
- Class: Cephalopoda
- Phylum: Mollusca
Geological & Stratigraphic Context:
- Period: Jurassic
- Stage: Oxfordian (approx. 163.5 – 157.3 million years ago)
- Formation: Possibly the Plicatilis or Transversarium Zone (based on locality, though exact zone depends on precise bed)
- Locality: Niegowonice/Ogndzemiec, Poland
- Depositional Environment: Warm shallow marine shelf with carbonate sedimentation, ideal for nektonic ammonites
- Preservation: Typically calcitic shell preserved within fine-grained limestone or marly layers
Morphological Features:
- Planispiral shell, generally compressed with fine radial ribbing
- Ribs may bifurcate or trifurcate at mid-flank, typical of Oxfordian Perisphinctes
- Umbilicus is moderately wide, exposing inner whorls
- Sutural complexity reflects evolutionary advancement in buoyancy control
Notable Information:
- Ammonites such as Perisphinctes are valuable biostratigraphic markers for Jurassic marine sediments
- Oxfordian Perisphinctes species are especially common across Europe, including England, France, Germany, and Poland
- Their global distribution and rapid evolution make them key index fossils for correlation
