Rare Baculites Fossil Ammonite Sciponoceras Baculoide Cretaceous Glynde UK

Original price was: £120.00.Current price is: £96.00.

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.

Description

Rare Baculites Fossil Ammonite

This listing presents a fossil identified as Sciponoceras baculoide, a baculites ammonite from the Lower Cenomanian stage of the Cretaceous. Its distinctive straight-shelled ammonite form makes it an appealing addition to fossil collections, geology displays and natural history cabinets. The product name identifies this specimen as a rare Baculites fossil ammonite, providing useful geological and palaeontological context for collectors interested in Cretaceous marine fossils.

Identification and Geological Context

The supplied identification is Sciponoceras baculoide, with the additional identification Lower Cenomanian, Cretaceous. Baculites and related straight-shelled ammonites are valued by collectors because their shell form differs from the more familiar coiled ammonite shape. As an ammonite fossil, this specimen represents an extinct cephalopod group preserved within the geological record. The Lower Cenomanian is part of the Cretaceous Period, an important interval in Earth history associated with diverse marine and terrestrial life.

This fossil is associated with Glynde, United Kingdom, as supplied in the product information. The location adds regional interest for collectors who enjoy specimens connected with British geological localities and the study of Cretaceous fossils. The identification and geological terminology make this piece suitable for educational displays, fossil reference collections and enthusiasts developing a focused ammonite collection.

Collection and Display

From the Alice Purnell Collection, this specimen carries collection interest as well as its palaeontological appeal. Its subject matter makes it suitable for display alongside ammonites, Cretaceous fossils, British geology specimens or educational materials relating to extinct marine life. It can also serve as an attractive conversation piece for collectors who appreciate the combination of a named fossil identification, a defined geological stage and a United Kingdom association.
