Eubostrychoceras Heteromorph Ammonite Fossil Coniacian Cretaceous Madagascar

Description

Fossil Identification

This listing features a Eubostrychoceras heteromorph ammonite fossil, identified in the supplied product information as a Coniacian Cretaceous specimen from the Tsiribihina region of Madagascar. Eubostrychoceras is a distinctive ammonite form associated with the diverse heteromorph ammonites of the Cretaceous. The product name describes this fossil as a rare Eubostrychoceras heteromorph ammonite, making it an appealing addition to a fossil collection, geological display or natural history study.

Geological Age and Locality

The specimen is assigned to the Coniacian, a recognised stage within the Cretaceous Period. The Cretaceous was a major interval in Earth history, notable for extensive marine environments and the widespread diversification of ammonites. The stated locality is the Tsiribihina region of Madagascar, an area known in geological collecting contexts for fossil material associated with the island’s sedimentary record. This locality and age information are supplied as part of the specimen’s identification.

About Heteromorph Ammonites

Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses. Their shells commonly display chambers separated by internal partitions, and the shell form is an important feature in ammonite classification. Heteromorph ammonites are especially notable for departures from the tightly coiled planispiral shape familiar from many other ammonites. Their shells can show unusual curves, open coiling or other distinctive arrangements, reflecting the remarkable variety of ammonite evolution during the Mesozoic Era.

Eubostrychoceras is associated with this heteromorph diversity and is of interest to collectors who appreciate unusual ammonite forms rather than only the classic spiral shell types. A specimen identified as Eubostrychoceras provides an opportunity to explore Cretaceous marine life, ammonite taxonomy and the changing shell designs that developed within extinct cephalopod lineages. The identification supplied for this listing should be used when cataloguing or displaying the fossil.

Collector and Display Interest

This Madagascar ammonite fossil is suited to fossil collectors, students of palaeontology, geology enthusiasts, museum-style displays and educational collections. Its combination of a named heteromorph ammonite identification, Coniacian age and Madagascar locality gives it useful cataloguing value. It can be displayed as a representative of Cretaceous marine life or kept as part of a collection focused on ammonites, heteromorph fossils, Madagascar geology or the fossil record of the Cretaceous Period.
