Description
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.
