£43.20

This listing features a rare and detailed fossil ammonite, Hammatoceras victorii, from the Toarcian Stage of the Early Jurassic, discovered in Pesavo, Italy. This specimen displays the characteristic ribbing and coiling of the genus and is a fine example from one of Italy’s most notable Jurassic marine fossil localities. The actual specimen you will receive is shown in the photos, with each scale cube representing 1cm.

This fossil is ideal for collectors, geology enthusiasts, and academic displays.

All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Geological & Scientific Information:

  • Fossil Type: Ammonite
  • Species: Hammatoceras victorii
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Superfamily: Hildoceratoidea
  • Family: Hammatoceratidae
  • Geological Stage: Lower Toarcian (approx. 182.7 – 174.1 million years ago)
  • Biozone: Likely falls within the Bifrons or Variabilis Zones
  • Period: Jurassic
  • Locality: Pesavo, Italy
  • Depositional Environment: Marine shelf to deeper basin environment, with periodic anoxic events aiding in exceptional fossil preservation

Morphology & Notable Features:

  • Strong, sharp ribbing that bifurcates from the umbilical margin
  • Typically planispiral and involute shell, with a narrow umbilicus
  • Ribs often continue over the venter, which may show faint keels or a slightly flattened profile
  • Excellent contrast and structure for visual display and scientific analysis
  • Preserved in fine-grained limestone or marl matrix, which helps highlight shell ornamentation

Scientific Significance:

Hammatoceras victorii is part of a key genus for understanding Toarcian ammonite evolution, especially within the Mediterranean and Tethyan provinces. Specimens like this one are used for detailed biostratigraphic correlations and help define several important ammonite zones in the Lower Jurassic.

This species was described from European fossil records and is part of the diverse faunal radiation following the end-Sinemurian extinction events. Its distinct ribbing makes it a marker species in many regional stratigraphic frameworks.

Ideal For:

  • Fossil and ammonite collectors
  • Educational and research institutions
  • Museums and exhibitions
  • Gifts for geology or palaeontology enthusiasts

What You Will Receive:

  • The exact Hammatoceras victorii specimen shown in the images
  • Certificate of Authenticity
  • Secure, careful packaging to ensure safe transit

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.
