For sale is an authentic Berriasella ammonite fossil from the Berriasian stage of the Early Cretaceous Period, discovered in Ginestous Garde, France. This fossil is a carefully selected specimen, displaying the distinct ribbed shell and coiled morphology of the Berriasella genus, making it a scientifically significant and visually stunning addition to any fossil collection.

Geology & Fossil Type:

This ammonite originates from the Berriasian, a stage within the Early Cretaceous, dating back approximately 145-139 million years. The Berriasian seas provided an abundant habitat for ammonites, with fossils from this period being particularly valuable for biostratigraphic dating, allowing geologists to correlate Cretaceous rock formations worldwide.

Berriasella belonged to the subclass Ammonoidea, an extinct group of marine mollusks closely related to modern squids and octopuses. Ammonites were active swimmers, using their chambered shells for buoyancy control to move efficiently through prehistoric seas. Their ribbed shells provided protection against predators and reinforced their structural integrity.

  • 100% Genuine Fossil – No Replicas or Synthetics
  • Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity
  • From the Alice Purnell Collection, a highly regarded fossil collection

Cretaceous Information

The Cretaceous Period (145–66 million years ago) was the final era of the Mesozoic, marked by the dominance of dinosaurs and the rise of flowering plants. It had a warm, greenhouse climate, with high sea levels that created vast shallow inland seas. Marine life flourished, including mosasaurs, ammonites, and rudist reefs, while the land was ruled by iconic dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Spinosaurus. Mammals and birds diversified, and insects thrived. The period ended with the mass extinction event, likely caused by an asteroid impact, wiping out the dinosaurs and paving the way for the rise of mammals in the Cenozoic.
