RARE Fossil Liosphinctes plicatilis Ammonite
Upper Oxfordian, Jurassic – Normandy, France
A genuine Liosphinctes plicatilis ammonite fossil from the Upper Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic, collected from the fossil-rich marine deposits of Normandy, France. This beautifully preserved specimen features the characteristic ribbing and shell architecture of the Liosphinctes genus and serves as a fine example of Jurassic cephalopods.
All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens

Geology & Stratigraphy
Location: Normandy, France
Geological Period: Jurassic
Epoch: Late Jurassic
Stage: Upper Oxfordian
Biozone:plicatilis Zone (named after this species and widely used in stratigraphic correlation)
Depositional Environment:
Epicontinental shallow marine basin
Likely deposited in calm, low-energy carbonate-rich sediments
Fine-grained limestone and marl matrix
Fossil Type & Morphology
Fossil Type: Ammonite (Extinct Marine Cephalopod)
Species:Liosphinctes plicatilis
Order: Ammonitida
Superfamily: Perisphinctoidea
Family: Perisphinctidae
Shell Features:
Planispiral coiling with moderate involution
Prominent bifurcating ribs, often fine and dense
Rounded venter with no keel
Strong radial ornamentation—ideal for visual display and morphological study
Typical of nektonic organisms adapted to open marine environments
Scientific Relevance
Liosphinctes plicatilis is an index fossil for the Upper Oxfordian and is critical in correlating strata across European Jurassic basins
Frequently studied in relation to ammonite evolution, oceanic anoxic events, and paleobiogeography
First formally described in the 19th century and used widely in biostratigraphy

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.
