RARE Quenstedtoceras pseudolamberti Fossil Ammonite – Jurassic Upper Callovian, Ryazan Russia – Genuine + COA

£24.00

Discover a rare and scientifically significant ammonite from the Jurassic seas: this exceptional Quenstedtoceras pseudolamberti Fossil Ammonite originates from the Upper Callovian Stage of the Jurassic Period, collected in Ryazan, Russia. Carefully selected for its preservation and rarity, this authentic specimen offers a glimpse into the complex ammonoid evolution of the Middle-Late Jurassic transition.

Fossil Type & Species:

  • Type: Ammonite (extinct marine cephalopod)
  • Species: Quenstedtoceras pseudolamberti
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Superfamily: Stephanoceratoidea
  • Family: Cardioceratidae

Geological Context:

  • Period: Jurassic
  • Epoch/Stage: Middle to Late Jurassic boundary, specifically Upper Callovian
  • Biozone: Likely within the Quenstedtoceras lamberti Zone, closely associated with this species
  • Depositional Environment: Offshore marine shelf, within fine calcareous sediments – ideal for cephalopod fossilisation

Locality:

  • Region: Ryazan Oblast, western Russia
  • Formation: Likely Callovian marine clays and marls typical of the Russian Platform (specific lithostratigraphy unverified)

Morphology & Features:

  • Strongly ribbed evolute shell with well-defined bifurcating ribs
  • Wide umbilicus and compressed whorl section
  • Distinctive suture lines and ornamentation characteristic of Quenstedtoceras pseudolamberti
  • Rare transitional form bridging earlier Macrocephalitidae-like lineages and later Cardioceratidae

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.
