Name: Perisphinctes sp.
Age: Jurassic
Location: France
Perisphinctes is a prehistoric genus of ammonite cephalopod that lived in the lower Jurassic 163 million years ago.
Ammonites are one of the most recognisable fossils around the world due to their familiar spiral shape. They were marine based, present between 240 – 65 million years ago. They are the most popular fossil for collections and found all over the world. Some ammonites could reach up to 2 metres in size. Children love collecting them, and places like Lyme Regis in Dorset becomes busy during the summer months with many people trying their luck at finding impressions in the rocks of their own ammonites.
