RARE Halorites Macer Fossil Ammonite – Upper Triassic, Bihati Timor, Indonesia – 100% Genuine with Certificate of Authenticity

£60.00

This Halorites macer fossil ammonite is a rare and exceptional specimen from the Upper Triassic period, discovered in Bihati Timor, Indonesia. Halorites are unique ammonites that lived during the Triassic period, a time of recovery and diversification after the Permian-Triassic mass extinction. This ammonite provides a valuable glimpse into the marine ecosystems that existed during this period, making it an important piece for any collector of Triassic fossils.

Geological Information:

  • Geological Stage: Upper Triassic (Approximately 237 to 201 million years ago)
  • Depositional Environment: The Upper Triassic was a time of marine diversification and oceanic expansion after the end-Permian extinction event. The Bihati Timor region in Indonesia was once submerged in shallow seas, which allowed for the preservation of marine organisms like Halorites. Fossils from this region help provide insights into Triassic marine ecosystems, where ammonites thrived and contributed to the biodiversity of the period.
  • Biozone: Fossils from the Upper Triassic biozone offer crucial information about the diversity of life during a time of ecological recovery and diversification. The Halorites macer ammonite is one of the iconic species from this period, adding significant value to paleontological studies.

Fossil Features:

  • Family: Heteromorph ammonites
  • Super Family: Ammonoidea
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Morphology: The Halorites macer ammonite exhibits distinctive coiling with a moderately evolved and slightly uncoiled structure. The ribbed surface and smooth, glossy shell make this fossil stand out. The suture lines are well-preserved and provide insight into its evolutionary lineage. The ammonite’s structure is typical of heteromorph ammonites, which feature unusual and irregular coiling patterns.
  • Zone: The specimen was found in the Upper Triassic zone, offering valuable data about the ammonites that lived during this period of recovery.

Notable Details:

  • This fossil is 100% GENUINE and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring its authenticity and value.
  • The specimen has been carefully selected for its high-quality preservation. The photograph shows the actual specimen you will receive, ensuring transparency in your purchase.
  • Scale Rule: The scale cube shown in the photo represents 1cm, allowing you to accurately gauge the size of the fossil. Full sizing details are available in the photograph.

Condition:

This Halorites macer fossil ammonite is in excellent condition, showcasing its distinctive ribbed structure, uncoiled pattern, and well-preserved surface details. The fossil has been cleaned and treated for display, making it a perfect addition to any Triassic ammonite collection or for those interested in the marine life of the Upper Triassic period.
