British Chalk Fish Fossil Bones - Cretaceous Sussex England - Authentic Specimen with COA

British Chalk Fish Fossil Bones – Cretaceous Sussex England – Authentic Specimen with COA

Original price was: £12.60.Current price is: £11.34.

This listing features a British Chalk Fish Fossil Bone specimen, carefully sourced from the Chalk deposits of Sussex, England, and dating back to the Cretaceous period. These chalk formations are part of the Upper Cretaceous marine shelf environments, which have long been celebrated for their exceptional preservation of vertebrate fossils.

The fossil represents fish bone material preserved within fine white chalk matrix — a rare and scientifically valuable form of vertebrate fossilisation. The Sussex Chalk is known for yielding fossil material such as isolated vertebrae, jaw fragments, and fin supports from bony fishes (Osteichthyes), potentially belonging to genera like Palaeobalistum or Enchodus, although precise identification requires expert review.

  • Type: Fossil Fish Bone Remains
  • Geological Formation: Upper Chalk
  • Geological Stage: Late Cretaceous (likely Campanian to Maastrichtian)
  • Location: Sussex, Southern England, UK
  • Depositional Environment: Warm, epicontinental marine shelf
  • Preservation: Bone material preserved in fine chalk matrix

These fossils are often fragmentary yet significant for understanding the diversity and anatomical features of marine vertebrates during the Late Cretaceous. Their occurrence in chalk also provides insights into sedimentation and biological turnover in Mesozoic seas.

This is the exact specimen shown in the photo, selected for its clarity and presentation.

  • Scale cube = 1cm. Please refer to the image for accurate sizing.
  • Ideal for educational display, collection, or scientific interest.

All of our fossils are 100% genuine specimens and include a Certificate of Authenticity to confirm provenance and identity.

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.
