RARE Cranocephalites vulgaris Fossil Ammonite - Middle Jurassic Callovian - Switzerland - Genuine with COA - Collector Specimen

RARE Cranocephalites vulgaris Fossil Ammonite – Middle Jurassic Callovian – Switzerland – Genuine with COA – Collector Specimen

Original price was: £14.40.Current price is: £12.96.

This listing offers a rare and scientifically significant fossil ammonite, Cranocephalites vulgaris, collected from Middle Callovian marine deposits of the Jurassic period in Switzerland. This beautifully preserved ammonite is a representative of mid-Jurassic ammonoid evolution within the Tethyan marine realm.

Cranocephalites vulgaris is a member of the family Cardioceratidae, and is recognised by its:

  • Sharply ribbed, compressed whorls
  • Fine, dense radial ornamentation, often bifurcating mid-flank
  • Strongly involute coiling and a narrow umbilicus
  • Species: Cranocephalites vulgaris
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Superfamily: Perisphinctoidea
  • Family: Cardioceratidae
  • Geological Stage: Middle Callovian, Middle Jurassic
  • Location: Switzerland
  • Depositional Environment: Open marine shelf, western Tethyan basin
  • Biozone: Cranocephalites vulgaris Zone (used in Callovian biostratigraphy in parts of Europe)

Dating to approximately 165 million years ago, this ammonite is an important marker species for correlation within the Middle Jurassic and is rarely found in such well-preserved condition. Specimens from Switzerland are particularly prized due to the precision of stratigraphic context and their aesthetic fossilisation.

This is a carefully selected specimen, and the photograph shows the exact item you will receive.

  • Scale cube = 1cm. Please see photo for full size and proportions.
  • A perfect addition to any scientific, educational, or private fossil collection.

Jurassic Information

The Jurassic Period (201–145 million years ago) was the golden age of dinosaurs, with iconic species like Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Allosaurus dominating the land. It was a time of warm, humid climates, with high sea levels that created vast shallow seas, supporting abundant marine reptiles, ammonites, and early coral reefs. The first birds, such as Archaeopteryx, evolved from small theropod dinosaurs, while early mammals remained small and nocturnal. Lush forests of cycads, conifers, and ferns covered the land, providing food for giant herbivores. The breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea accelerated, shaping Earth's geography and setting the stage for the diverse ecosystems of the Cretaceous.
