Here is a very pretty ammonite from the Jurassic of Madagascar. This Perisphinctes ammonite has been cut in half, and both halves have been polished to make for a beautiful display. The coiling pattern and the individual body chambers of the cephalopod are both easily seen. Many of the body chambers are hollow and filled with crystals. The outside of the ammonite has a distinct ribbing pattern which is wonderfully displayed. This is a very striking example of a split ammonite from the exotic island of Madagascar.
