Description
Fossil Identification
This listing is for a Mantelliceras lapparenti fossil ammonite, identified as Upper Cenomanian and Cretaceous. Mantelliceras lapparenti is an ammonite fossil, making it a distinctive subject for collectors interested in palaeontology, historical geology and the fossil record of the Cretaceous. The identification combines the named fossil with its supplied geological designation, Upper Cenomanian, providing useful context for display, study and collection cataloguing.
Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with coiled shells and are widely valued in palaeontology because their fossils can be used to study past marine environments and changes through geological time. The Cenomanian forms part of the Cretaceous Period, and the Upper Cenomanian designation gives this specimen a more specific position within that interval. These terms are especially useful when organising a fossil collection by geological age and identification.
Collector Interest
A named Mantelliceras lapparenti specimen offers more than a general ammonite label. The genus and species identification make it suitable for collectors who prefer catalogued fossil material with a specific taxonomic name. It can also complement collections focused on Cretaceous fossils, ammonites or Upper Cenomanian material.
The supplied location is Glynde, United Kingdom. This location information can be retained alongside the specimen’s identification when recording the item in a collection database, display label or personal fossil catalogue. The specimen is from the Alice Purnell Collection, adding collection context for buyers who value identified pieces with a stated collecting history.
