THE GIANT

278 kg of pure ammonite! And a diameter of 110 cm! The Giant of Sakaraha is one of the largest specimens of Lytoceras in the world, and probably the largest to be found in Madagascar to date. It was discovered in 2022 by local ammonite diggers in the northwest of the country at a depth of 7 meters below the earth’s surface. It could only be brought to light in several pieces and with the help of the entire village population.
