Original price was: £18.00.Current price is: £16.20.

Presenting a beautifully preserved DESMOCERAS fossil ammonite, an authentic marine fossil from the Lower Albian Stage of the Early Cretaceous Period (approximately 113 to 110 million years ago). This exceptional specimen was collected from the fossil-rich deposits of Boeny, Madagascar.

Geology & Origin:

The Boeny region of Madagascar was once submerged beneath shallow seas during the Early Cretaceous. These conditions supported rich marine biodiversity, including ammonites like Desmoceras. After death, the shells of these creatures were quickly buried under layers of fine sediment, leading to superb fossilization. Boeny is now a key site for high-quality ammonite fossils from the Albian period.

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.
