RARE Fossil Ammonite Werneroceras | Middle Devonian Cephalopod | Germany | Authentic Certified Specimen
£48.00
This listing offers a rare Werneroceras fossil ammonite from the Middle Devonian of Germany. These beautifully coiled cephalopods are part of the ancient marine ecosystem that thrived more than 385 million years ago during the Paleozoic Era. Werneroceras is an extinct genus of early ammonoids that show primitive characteristics compared to later ammonites, making this a valuable specimen for collectors and scientific enthusiasts alike.
Geological & Palaeontological Details:
- Genus: Werneroceras
- Geological Period: Devonian
- Stage: Middle Devonian (~393 to 383 million years ago)
- Locality: Germany (likely Eifel region, renowned for its fossiliferous Devonian limestones)
- Depositional Environment: Shallow warm marine carbonate platform — rich in reef-building organisms
- Order: Goniatitida (early ammonoid order)
- Superfamily: Agathiceratoidea (tentative, as taxonomy has varied)
- Family: Werneroceratidae (based on genus attribution in older literature)
- Biozone: Often associated with reefal and marginal shelf environments within the Eifelian and Givetian stages
Morphological Features:
- Planispiral shell with tightly coiled whorls
- Relatively smooth or subtly ornamented shell with gently rounded whorl sections
- Primitive suture lines — a key feature of early ammonoids
- Ideal for contrasting against later, more ornate ammonites in evolutionary comparisons
Notable Information:
- Werneroceras represents some of the earliest stages of ammonoid evolution, transitional from nautiloid ancestors
- Found in classic fossiliferous Middle Devonian outcrops of western Germany
- Historically collected by early German palaeontologists mapping the rich stratigraphy of the Eifel region
- Perfect for display, academic study, or as an investment-grade fossil
Authenticity & Presentation:
- 100% genuine fossil specimen, not a replica
- Supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity
- Photo shows the exact fossil you will receive
- Scale cube = 1cm for accurate size reference
This rare Werneroceras ammonite from the Middle Devonian seas of Germany is a tangible piece of evolutionary history — a must-have for any serious fossil collection.
All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
