Rare Indocephalites kheraensis Ammonite Fossil – Callovian, Jurassic, Madagascar – Genuine & Certified

£36.00

This is a rare and authentic fossil of Indocephalites kheraensis, an extinct ammonite species from the Middle Jurassic period, specifically from the Callovian Stage. This striking specimen was recovered from Madagascar, an island well known for its remarkably preserved marine fossils.

Indocephalites is a genus of planispiral ammonites belonging to the order Ammonitida. This particular species, kheraensis, is characterised by a moderately involute shell with slightly compressed whorls and finely ribbed ornamentation that distinguishes it from similar genera. The fossil reveals prominent growth lines and subtle ribbing—classic features of Callovian ammonites from the Indo-Madagascan realm.

Geological & Scientific Details:

  • Scientific Name: Indocephalites kheraensis
  • Fossil Type: Ammonite (Extinct Marine Cephalopod)
  • Geological Period: Jurassic
  • Stage: Callovian (approx. 166–163 million years ago)
  • Location Found: Madagascar
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Family: Possibly within the Perisphinctidae (subject to formal classification)
  • Morphological Features: Moderately involute coiling, fine ribbing, planispiral shape
  • Depositional Environment: Marine sedimentary basin – shallow, tropical Jurassic seas

This specimen provides both aesthetic and scientific value, perfect for collectors, educators, and enthusiasts. Ammonites like this one thrived in warm, shallow seas and were integral to Jurassic marine ecosystems. Madagascar’s unique preservation conditions have ensured this fossil retains remarkable detail.

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.
