Description
This listing features a genuine Hemipleuroceras fossil ammonite, discovered in the Kimmeridgian Stage of the Upper Jurassic Period (~157 to 152 million years ago) from the fossil-rich region of Cantabria, Spain. Ammonites from this period are characterised by their distinct ribbing and coiling, and Hemipleuroceras is no exception—offering fine preservation and excellent structural detail.
Hemipleuroceras belongs to the subclass Ammonoidea, extinct marine molluscs that once thrived in warm seas. These cephalopods were free-swimming creatures, related to modern-day squid and octopuses, using their gas-filled chambers for buoyancy and jet propulsion.
This fossil is an excellent representation of the species and geological age, selected for both its condition and scientific relevance. The exact specimen shown in the photo is the one you will receive, with a 1cm scale cube included for full size reference. A Certificate of Authenticity is also included with your purchase.
