These beautiful ammonites from the Perisphincter family are dug out in deep manholes in the wasteland near Sakaraha in the Tulear province in southwest Madagascar by local fishermen and farmers in their free time, using the simplest of tools. But this is only possible in the dry season; when it rains, the access roads are impassable and the holes are under water.
