£36.00
This Calycoceras asiaticum fossil ammonite is a remarkable specimen from the Cenomanian Stage of the Cretaceous Period, discovered in Glynde, United Kingdom. Calycoceras asiaticum is a rare and beautifully preserved ammonite species known for its distinctive ribbed and coiled shell. The Cenomanian (approximately 100 to 94 million years ago) was a time when ammonites like Calycoceras asiaticum were abundant in shallow marine environments, leaving behind these stunning fossils. This specimen was found in the Cretaceous Chalk of Glynde, a region famous for its rich fossil deposits.
Geological Information:
Geological Stage: Cenomanian, Cretaceous (Approximately 100 to 94 million years ago)
Depositional Environment: The Cenomanian period was marked by warm, shallow seas covering much of Europe, including the United Kingdom. The fossil was preserved in Chalk Formation deposits, which are the result of ancient marine organisms accumulating on the seafloor. These deposits were formed from the remains of marine plankton and other organisms, creating the Cretaceous Chalk that is abundant in Glynde, Sussex. This environment was rich in marine life, including the species Calycoceras asiaticum.
Biozone: This fossil comes from the Cenomanian biozone, a time known for the abundant ammonites that populated the seas. The biozone represents a period where ammonites like Calycoceras played a significant role in marine ecosystems.

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.
