Formation: Likely marine sedimentary limestone or marl units typical of Upper Jurassic Swiss sequences
Geological & Paleontological Context:
Order: Ammonitida
Superfamily: Perisphinctoidea
Family: Perisphinctidae
Genus: Binatisphinctes
Zone/Biozone: Possibly Gregoryceras transversarium Zone (Oxfordian), depending on exact locality
Depositional Environment: Shallow marine shelf environment with fine-grained calcareous sedimentation
Morphology Features: Evolute shell with ribbed ornamentation; typical of Perisphinctid ammonites with pronounced whorls and suture lines
Notable Features: Excellent preservation, showing fine ribbing and coiling, ideal for collectors and educational display
Formally Identified By: Genus originally described in the 19th century under the broader classification of Perisphinctids; refined in later systematic revisions
Why Choose This Fossil?
Carefully selected for quality and authenticity
Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity
A unique glimpse into Jurassic marine life

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.
