Perisphinctes is an extinct genus of ammonite cephalopod that lived in the lower Jurassic 163 million years ago. Ammonites are one of the most recognisable fossils around, this is due to their familiar spiral shape shell, reminiscent of what we know as a snail shell, though these creatures are not related to snails at all! They were marine animals, present between 240 - 65 million years ago, who had a coiled external shell like that of the modern nautilus, and although they resembled a modern-day nautilus, these molluscs are more closely related to living coleoids i.e. octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish.These creatures varied in size, ranging from only a few millimetres to some fossils being found measuring a huge 2.5m ! ✔ The image shows the ACTUAL SPECIMEN you will receive unless otherwise stated. ✔ We only sell the finest minerals, crystals & fossils. Please remember this when comparing our specimens with others. ✔ Please also check the sizes of competitors' specimens. Many photograph their specimens to appear much larger than they actually are, resulting in disappointment. We usually include a 1cm cube in at least one of the photographs to give a sense of scale. ✔ All our minerals, crystals & fossils are ethically sourced and are 100% natural specimens just as they come out of the ground. ✔ We NEVER sell altered, embellished, dyed or artificially enhanced specimens, such as screaming fluorescent agates, 'day glow' dyed amethysts or 'aura' vapour coated crystals. ✔ Any questions?... just ask or message us via the eBay messaging system. We're here to help.
