Original price was: £36.00.Current price is: £28.80.

Presenting a remarkable and authentic PHYLLOCERAS VELLEDAE fossil ammonite, a captivating specimen from the Albian Stage of the Early Cretaceous Period (approximately 113 to 100 million years ago). This fossil was unearthed in the fossil-rich deposits of Boeny, Madagascar.

Geology & Origin:

During the Albian stage, Boeny was submerged under shallow, warm seas that nurtured a diverse marine ecosystem. Ammonites like Phylloceras velledae thrived in these ancient waters. After their demise, they were quickly buried in fine sediment, leading to exceptional fossilization. The result is a fossil that beautifully preserves the intricate shell structure of these ancient cephalopods.

PHYLLOCERAS VELLEDAE Fossil Ammonite

Specimen Identification

This listing features a PHYLLOCERAS VELLEDAE fossil ammonite identified as Albian, Cretaceous. The specimen is associated with Boeny, Madagascar, a location of strong interest to fossil collectors and natural history enthusiasts. Its scientific identification and geological designation make it an engaging addition to a collection focused on ammonites, Cretaceous fossils, paleontology or earth science.

Geological Context

The Albian is a recognised stage of the Cretaceous Period. Ammonites lived in ancient marine environments and are among the most familiar fossil cephalopods. Their coiled shells are especially valued by collectors because they preserve a visible connection to the marine ecosystems of the past. Ammonites are also important in paleontology because related forms can help researchers compare rocks and fossil-bearing deposits across different regions.

This fossil’s Albian, Cretaceous identification places it within a significant interval of Earth history. The Cretaceous is widely known for its diverse marine life, and ammonites are an important part of the fossil record from this period. A specimen identified as PHYLLOCERAS VELLEDAE offers a focused collecting opportunity for anyone interested in fossil cephalopods and the geological history of Madagascar.

Collector Interest

This ammonite is suitable for fossil collections, educational displays, geology-themed interiors, museum-style presentations and gifts for collectors. It can be displayed as a standalone natural history specimen or alongside other ammonites and Cretaceous fossils to create a comparative collection. The named identification, geological age and Boeny, Madagascar association provide useful information for cataloguing and display.

The specimen may appeal to collectors who enjoy fossils with a defined geological designation, as well as to students, educators and enthusiasts exploring the history of marine life. Ammonites remain popular because they combine recognisable form, scientific interest and a direct connection with ancient seas.
