Description
HOPLOSCAPHITES CONSTRICTICUS AMMONITE FOSSIL
This Hoploscaphites constricticus ammonite is identified as a Campanian fossil from the Cretaceous Period, with Montana, USA, recorded in the supplied product information. It is a distinctive addition to a fossil collection, natural history display, geology cabinet or educational collection focused on Late Cretaceous life.
GEOLOGICAL PERIOD AND AGE
The Campanian is a recognised stage of the Cretaceous Period and belongs to the Late Cretaceous. Fossils from this interval are important for understanding marine ecosystems and the changing environments inhabited by ammonites before the end-Cretaceous extinction. The Campanian designation provides valuable geological context for this specimen and makes it particularly relevant to collectors interested in Cretaceous stratigraphy and palaeontology.
FOSSIL IDENTIFICATION
Hoploscaphites constricticus is an ammonite identification. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopod molluscs related to modern nautiluses, squid and cuttlefish. Their coiled shells are among the most recognisable fossils in the geological record, and they are widely collected for their scientific, historical and display appeal. Ammonites are also important index fossils because their relatively rapid evolutionary changes and broad distribution can assist with comparing rocks of similar geological age.
The supplied identification connects this fossil specifically with Hoploscaphites constricticus rather than presenting it only as a general ammonite. The Campanian age and Montana, USA, location add useful context for collectors studying North American Cretaceous fossils, marine palaeontology and fossiliferous geological deposits.
COLLECTION HISTORY
From the Alice Purnell Collection
This collection attribution forms part of the supplied specimen information and adds interest for collectors who value documented collection associations. The fossil can be displayed alongside other ammonites, Cretaceous fossils, invertebrate fossils or educational geological specimens.
DISPLAY AND COLLECTOR USE
Suitable for a fossil display case, study collection, geology classroom, museum-style cabinet or natural history-themed interior. Its combination of a named ammonite identification, Campanian Cretaceous age and Montana, USA, location makes it a useful conversation piece for anyone interested in palaeontology and Earth history.
Full sizing is shown in the photographs.
