Anahoplites planus Gault Ammonite Fossil, Albian Cretaceous, Folkestone Kent Fossil – Certificate Included

Description

Identification and Geological Context

This listing is for an Anahoplites planus Gault ammonite fossil, identified with the Gault Clay, Albian, Cretaceous. The associated locality is Folkestone, Kent. The specimen is an appealing choice for fossil collectors, geology enthusiasts, natural history displays and anyone interested in Cretaceous marine life.

Anahoplites planus is an ammonite, a group of extinct marine cephalopods that are widely valued by collectors for their fossilised shell forms and importance in geological study. Ammonites lived in ancient seas and their fossils are used as evidence when examining the history of marine environments and the passage of geological time. The identification of this specimen places it within the Albian Stage of the Cretaceous Period, a geological interval known for diverse marine ecosystems.

Gault Clay and Folkestone, Kent

Gault Clay is a well-known geological unit associated with Cretaceous deposits in southern England. Fossils from this material are of particular interest because they provide a connection with the marine environments that existed during the Cretaceous. Folkestone, Kent is an important British fossil locality, making this specimen relevant to collectors of English geology and Cretaceous ammonites.

The locality and geological information make this fossil suitable for a themed collection, educational display, study cabinet or natural history interior. It can also be presented as a distinctive gift for a fossil collector, geology student or enthusiast of the Cretaceous Period.

Collector and Display Interest

This Anahoplites planus fossil offers several points of interest in one specimen: a named ammonite identification, an association with Gault Clay, an Albian Cretaceous age designation and a Folkestone, Kent locality.
