RARE Haugia variabilis Ammonite Fossil Middle Jurassic Toarcian France Genuine Display Specimen

£36.00

This stunning Haugia variabilis ammonite fossil originates from the Middle Toarcian stage of the Jurassic period and was discovered at the classic fossil locality of Fresney le Puceux, France. Dated to approximately 180 million years ago, this beautiful cephalopod specimen is a genuine relic of prehistoric marine life.

Haugia variabilis belongs to a genus of extinct ammonite molluscs known for their distinctively ribbed and involute shell morphology, with a narrow umbilicus and pronounced growth lines. The species is highly recognisable for its variable ornamentation, making each fossil unique.

The ammonite was part of the once-thriving marine ecosystems of the early Jurassic seas. Its preservation in the clay-rich strata of the Normandy region provides incredible detail, including suture patterns and ribbing, indicative of its genus.

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.
