Acanthoceras vergonense Fossil Ammonite – Lower Cenomanian, Cretaceous – Dover, UK – Certified Authentic Specimen – Exact Fossil Shown

Description

This listing features an exceptional specimen of Acanthoceras vergonense, a striking ammonite from the Lower Cenomanian stage of the Cretaceous Period (approximately 100 to 94 million years ago). This fossil was discovered in Dover, Kent, one of the UK’s most famous fossil-hunting localities known for its chalk cliffs and Cretaceous marine fauna.

Acanthoceras is a genus within the Acanthoceratidae family, notable for its broad, ornamented whorls often adorned with prominent tubercles and ribbing. These characteristics made the genus a dominant cephalopod group in the Western Tethys Sea during the early Late Cretaceous, helping palaeontologists use them as index fossils in biostratigraphy.

This ammonite has been expertly selected from the Alice Purnell Collection and is guaranteed to be 100% authentic, with a Certificate of Authenticity included with your purchase.
