Description

Anahoplites biblicatus Gault Ammonite Fossil

This fossil is identified as Anahoplites biblicatus, a Gault ammonite from Folkestone, Kent. It is associated with the Gault Clay and the Albian Stage of the Cretaceous Period, making it an appealing addition to collections focused on ammonites, Cretaceous palaeontology and the geology of southern England.

Identification and Geological Context

Anahoplites biblicatus belongs to the ammonites, an extinct group of marine cephalopods that lived in the ancient seas of the Mesozoic Era. Ammonites are especially valued by collectors because their fossils preserve a recognisable coiled shell form and provide an important connection between palaeontology, stratigraphy and Earth history.

The Albian was a stage of the Cretaceous Period, and the Gault Clay is well known for its fossil-bearing marine sediments. Folkestone, Kent, is an important collecting locality associated with Cretaceous geology and Gault Clay fossils. This specimen therefore represents both a named ammonite identification and a documented geological setting within the Cretaceous record.

Collector Interest

Named fossil specimens such as Anahoplites biblicatus are suitable for ammonite collections, teaching displays, geology cabinets and educational exhibits. The combination of a specific identification, Albian age and Folkestone, Kent locality gives the specimen useful interpretive value for collectors who enjoy linking fossils with their stratigraphic and regional context.

Ammonites are also widely studied because different forms can be used to help understand changes in marine environments and to compare rocks of similar geological age. A Gault ammonite can complement collections featuring other Cretaceous fossils, British geological localities or representatives of extinct marine life.
