RARE 4″ Ceratites Evolutu Fossil Ammonite – Middle Triassic, Heming, France – 100% Genuine with Certificate of Authenticity
£84.00
This Ceratites evolutu fossil ammonite is a rare and impressive specimen from the Middle Triassic period, discovered in Heming, France. The Ceratites genus is characterized by its distinctive coiled shell and ribbed texture, making it a valuable specimen for both collectors and researchers. This fossil offers a unique glimpse into the marine ecosystems that flourished during the Triassic period.
Geological Information:
Geological Stage: Middle Triassic (Approximately 247 to 237 million years ago)
Depositional Environment: The Middle Triassic was a period of ecological recovery after the Permian-Triassic mass extinction, and the Heming region in France was once part of a shallow marine environment. Fossils from this region, including the Ceratites evolutu, provide valuable insights into the recovery of life in the oceans and the early diversification of ammonites.
Biozone: Fossils from the Middle Triassic biozone offer important information on the marine ecosystems and the recovery of life following one of Earth’s largest extinction events. The Ceratites genus thrived in this period and serves as an important marker in the study of Triassic ammonite evolution.
Fossil Features:
Family: Ceratitidae
Super Family: Ammonoidea
Order: Ammonitida
Morphology: The Ceratites evolutu ammonite features a distinctive ribbed shell with moderate coiling. The shell’s smooth surface is adorned with elegant ribs that curve outward, creating a graceful yet robust appearance. The suture lines are well-preserved, making this fossil a prime example of Middle Triassic ammonite morphology.
Zone: The fossil was found in the Middle Triassic zone, providing a timeline for the species’ existence during a critical period of marine life evolution.

Triassic Information
The Triassic Period (252–201 million years ago) marked the beginning of the Mesozoic Era, following the Permian-Triassic mass extinction, the most severe extinction event in Earth's history. The climate was hot and dry, with vast deserts and little polar ice. Life slowly recovered, leading to the rise of the first dinosaurs, pterosaurs (flying reptiles), and early mammals. Reptiles, including large archosaurs (ancestors of crocodiles and dinosaurs), dominated both land and sea. In the oceans, ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs thrived alongside ammonites and early coral reefs. The first true conifers and ginkgo trees spread across the land. The period ended with another mass extinction, paving the way for the Jurassic and the golden age of dinosaurs.
