Unusual Anapuzosia Ammonite (5.3 Inches)
Here is an unusual, thick Anapuzosia saintursi ammonite from Madagascar. Out of the hundreds of ammonites I've listed from Madagascar this is the first one I've acquired of this species. It's large a 5.3 inches wide and each side is over an inch thick. The chambers show gorgeous mineralization and it displays well on the included stands.
Ammonites were predatory mollusks that resembled squids with shells. These cephalopods had eyes, tentacles, and spiral shells. Though their shells resemble that of a nautilus, they are actually more closely related to living octopuses. Ammonites appeared in the fossil record about 240 million years ago, barely surviving several major extinction events. The last lineages disappeared 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous.
