Puzosia Fossil Ammonite | Rare Middle Albian Cretaceous | AUBE France | Genuine Certified Specimen

£60.00

A remarkable and rare fossil specimen of Puzosia, an extinct genus of ammonite, originating from the Middle Albian stage of the Cretaceous Period, unearthed in the geologically significant deposits of Aube, France.

Puzosia is recognised for its discoidal shell with relatively smooth surfaces and fine ribbing, indicative of a nektonic lifestyle in mid-depth marine environments during the Early Cretaceous. This fossil embodies the evolutionary diversity of ammonites prior to their eventual extinction.

All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

The photo shows the actual specimen you will receive. The scale cube in the image represents 1cm. Full sizing and visual inspection can be confirmed from the photograph.

 

Geological and Taxonomic Information:

  • Genus: Puzosia
  • Fossil Type: Ammonite (extinct marine cephalopod)
  • Age: Cretaceous, Middle Albian (~110 to 105 million years ago)
  • Location: Aube, France
  • Depositional Environment: Marine shelf, likely moderately deep offshore
  • Geological Stage: Middle Albian

 

Taxonomic Classification:

  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Superfamily: Desmoceratoidea
  • Family: Desmoceratidae
  • Genus: Puzosia

 

Morphology & Notable Features:

  • Moderately involute, compressed shell shape
  • Gently curved ribs with weak tuberculation or smooth surfaces
  • Rounded ventral area and suture lines characteristic of Desmoceratoids
  • Valuable for both visual aesthetics and scientific study

 

Scientific & Collector Significance:

Puzosia species are important for Cretaceous biostratigraphy and illustrate the diversification of ammonoids during the Albian. Their wide geographic distribution makes them useful for correlating global stratigraphic sequences.

This fossil is an excellent addition for collectors, academic researchers, and display purposes in educational and museum settings.

 

Specimen Details:

  • Approximate Size: Refer to scale cube in photograph
  • Condition: Fully cleaned and preserved
  • Origin: Aube, France
  • Includes: Certificate of Authenticity

 

Ideal For:

  • Serious fossil and ammonite collectors
  • Educational institutions and museums
  • Gifts for geology or paleontology enthusiasts
  • Scientific reference and stratigraphic collections

Cretaceous Information

The Cretaceous Period (145–66 million years ago) was the final era of the Mesozoic, marked by the dominance of dinosaurs and the rise of flowering plants. It had a warm, greenhouse climate, with high sea levels that created vast shallow inland seas. Marine life flourished, including mosasaurs, ammonites, and rudist reefs, while the land was ruled by iconic dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Spinosaurus. Mammals and birds diversified, and insects thrived. The period ended with the mass extinction event, likely caused by an asteroid impact, wiping out the dinosaurs and paving the way for the rise of mammals in the Cenozoic.
