Rare baculites fossil ammonite – sciponoceras baculoides, lower cenomanian, cretaceous, glynde, united kingdom – genuine specimen with coa

Description

This is a rare Sciponoceras baculoides fossil ammonite, dating to the Lower Cenomanian stage of the Late Cretaceous period (~100-96 million years ago), discovered in Glynde, United Kingdom. Sciponoceras belongs to the Baculitidae family, a group of straight-shelled ammonites that thrived in open marine environments. Unlike their coiled relatives, Sciponoceras evolved a long, uncoiled shell, allowing them to float efficiently in the Cretaceous seas.

Fossils from the Cenomanian stage represent a critical period of ammonite evolution, making this specimen scientifically significant and highly collectible. The Glynde region in the UK is known for its well-preserved Cretaceous marine fossils, providing insight into ammonite diversity.
