RARE Proscaphites anar Fossil Ammonite - Upper Oxfordian Jurassic - Deux-Sèvres France - Genuine with COA - Collector Specimen

RARE Proscaphites anar Fossil Ammonite – Upper Oxfordian Jurassic – Deux-Sèvres France – Genuine with COA – Collector Specimen

Original price was: £9.00.Current price is: £8.10.

Offered here is a rare and scientifically valuable fossil ammonite, Proscaphites anar, from the Upper Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic, collected in Deux-Sèvres, France. This fossil represents an exceptional example of Jurassic ammonoid evolution from the northwestern margin of the ancient Tethys Ocean.

Proscaphites anar is a relatively rare genus known for its distinctive morphology, including:

  • Compressed, involute coiling with a narrow umbilicus
  • Finely ribbed ornamentation, sometimes showing subtle tuberculation
  • A shell shape transitioning between planispiral and lightly heteromorphic tendencies in later ontogeny
  • Species: Proscaphites anar
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Superfamily: Perisphinctoidea
  • Family: Unknown or debated (due to rarity)
  • Geological Stage: Upper Oxfordian, Late Jurassic
  • Location: Deux-Sèvres, France
  • Depositional Environment: Shallow marine carbonate shelf, Tethyan margin
  • Biozone: Likely within Perisphinctes or Gregoryceras zones (Upper Oxfordian)

Estimated at around 157–155 million years old, this ammonite reflects the morphological experimentation typical of the Oxfordian age. Its rarity and striking preservation make it a prized specimen for collectors and researchers alike.

This is a carefully selected and professionally prepared specimen, and the photograph shows the exact fossil you will receive.

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.
