EUASPIDOCERAS HYPSELUM Ammonite Fossil Upper Oxfordian Jurassic Vienne France Genuine Specimen

£12.00

This listing features a well-preserved EUASPIDOCERAS HYPSELUM ammonite fossil from the Upper Oxfordian Stage of the Late Jurassic Period (approximately 161 to 157 million years ago). This remarkable specimen was collected from the renowned fossiliferous deposits of Vienne, France, a classic locality for Jurassic marine invertebrates.

Geology & Origin:

During the Upper Oxfordian, the region now known as Vienne was submerged beneath a shallow epicontinental sea that supported abundant marine life. Ammonites like Euaspidoceras hypselum thrived in these warm, nutrient-rich waters. Their shells were buried in fine marine sediments after death, resulting in exceptional fossil preservation.

Fossil Type & Species:

  • Type: Fossil Ammonite (Extinct marine mollusc)
  • Species: Euaspidoceras hypselum
  • Preservation: Excellent, with detailed coiling, ribbing, and shell morphology

Features:

  • 100% genuine, natural fossil specimen

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.
