Calycoceras (Newboldiceras) Fossil Chalk Ammonite, Cenomanian, Cretaceous: Glynde, United Kingdom – 100% Genuine with COA
£18.00
This Calycoceras (Newboldiceras) fossil ammonite is a magnificent specimen from the Cenomanian Stage of the Cretaceous Period, discovered in Glynde, United Kingdom. Calycoceras (Newboldiceras) is an ammonite species known for its distinctively ribbed shell and evolute form, making it a valuable specimen for fossil collectors and enthusiasts of Cretaceous marine life. This fossil ammonite was preserved in chalk, a sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation of marine organisms, which helps to ensure the fossil’s superb preservation.
Geological Information:
Geological Stage: Cenomanian, Cretaceous (Approximately 100.5 to 93.9 million years ago)
Depositional Environment: During the Cenomanian period, shallow marine seas covered much of what is now the United Kingdom, including Glynde. These seas provided an ideal environment for the thriving ammonite populations, including Calycoceras (Newboldiceras). The Glynde region is particularly well-known for its chalk deposits, which formed from the accumulation of marine plankton and other microscopic organisms. Fossils such as Calycoceras were preserved in these deposits, providing a glimpse into the marine life of the Cretaceous period.
Biozone: This fossil comes from the Cenomanian biozone, a period of significant marine biodiversity. The Cenomanian biozone is characterized by the abundance of ammonites and other marine life, making it a significant phase for understanding the evolution of marine ecosystems during the Cretaceous.
Fossil Features:
Family: Ammonitidae
Super Family: Ammonoidea
Order: Ammonitida
Morphology: The Calycoceras (Newboldiceras) ammonite features a distinctive, ribbed, evolute shell. The shell is tightly coiled, showing clear and distinct whorls. The ribs on the shell are prominent and run along the length of the whorls, creating a textured appearance. The ammonite’s suture lines are clearly visible, adding to the fossil’s complexity and helping to define its species. This ammonite is a perfect example of Cretaceous ammonites, showing the typical features of evolute forms in this family.

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.
