RARE Goniatite Fossil – WOCKLUMERIA – Upper Devonian – Moroc

Original price was: £12.00.Current price is: £10.80.

This listing features a rare and genuine Goniatite Fossil of the genus Wocklumeria, collected from the Upper Devonian strata of Morocco. Wocklumeria is an extinct genus of ammonoid cephalopods known for its evolutionary importance in the transition toward more complex ammonite morphologies.

Fossil Type & Species:

  • Type: Fossilised Goniatite Ammonoid
  • Genus: Wocklumeria

Geological Context:

  • Era: Paleozoic
  • Period: Devonian
  • Stage: Upper Devonian
  • Locality: Morocco
  • Depositional Environment: Marine shelf conditions, supporting diverse cephalopod faunas during the Late Devonian

Morphological Features:

  • Typically discoidal shell form with pronounced lobes and saddles in the suture lines
  • Coiling tight but not completely involute
  • Often displays moderate ribbing and growth lines

Scientific Notes:

  • Wocklumeria is notable for its placement near the base of the ammonoid lineage leading into the Carboniferous period
  • Represents part of the recovery fauna after the Kellwasser extinction event near the Frasnian–Famennian boundary

Taxonomy:

  • Order: Goniatitida
  • Superfamily: Tornocerataceae
  • Family: Wocklumeriidae
  • Formally Described By: Schindewolf, 1923

Authenticity & Display:

All of our fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. The fossil shown in the photograph is the exact piece you will receive.

Please see the image for exact sizingScale cube = 1cm.

A superb and scientifically significant goniatite from the Devonian seas of Morocco – ideal for fossil collectors, educational displays, or as a striking natural history piece.

Devonian Information

The Devonian Period (419–359 million years ago), known as the "Age of Fishes," was a time of major evolutionary advances in both marine and terrestrial life. The oceans were dominated by armored placoderm fish, early sharks, and lobe-finned fish like Tiktaalik, which had features that helped vertebrates transition to land. Coral reefs flourished, and ammonites became more diverse. On land, the first forests appeared, with early trees like Archaeopteris, leading to a drop in atmospheric carbon dioxide and climate cooling. The first tetrapods (four-legged vertebrates) began evolving from fish, marking a critical step in the evolution of amphibians. The period ended with the Devonian extinction, likely caused by ocean anoxia and climate shifts, wiping out many marine species and reshaping ecosystems.
