£14.40

This listing features a genuine and rare Acanthopleuroceras mauganesti fossil ammonite from the Lower Pliensbachian stage of the Early Jurassic, collected in Bath, United Kingdom. Ammonites were marine cephalopods that thrived in the world’s oceans and left behind beautifully preserved shells that are now prized by collectors and scientists alike.

Acanthopleuroceras mauganesti is distinguished by its evolute shell with strong, bifurcating ribs and distinctive tubercles (nodes) that appear along the flanks and around the ventrolateral area. These features help identify the species and provide insight into its evolutionary lineage.

Jurassic Information

The Jurassic Period (201–145 million years ago) was the golden age of dinosaurs, with iconic species like Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Allosaurus dominating the land. It was a time of warm, humid climates, with high sea levels that created vast shallow seas, supporting abundant marine reptiles, ammonites, and early coral reefs. The first birds, such as Archaeopteryx, evolved from small theropod dinosaurs, while early mammals remained small and nocturnal. Lush forests of cycads, conifers, and ferns covered the land, providing food for giant herbivores. The breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea accelerated, shaping Earth's geography and setting the stage for the diverse ecosystems of the Cretaceous.
