RARE Scaphites equalis Ammonite Fossil

## Genuine Lower Cenomanian ammonite from Sussex

This rare Scaphites equalis ammonite is a genuine fossil specimen from Glynde in East Sussex, UK. It dates to the Lower Cenomanian stage of the Upper Cretaceous and provides a direct connection to the ancient seas that once covered southern England. The photographs show the exact carefully selected specimen you will receive, making it a compelling choice for collectors of ammonites, British fossils, Cretaceous geology and natural-history displays.

## Fossil type and scientific interest

Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods, related to modern squid, octopuses and nautiluses. Their shells were divided into chambers that supported buoyancy, and their rapid evolution makes them especially important fossils for understanding geological time. Scaphites is notable for its partly uncoiled shell form, a feature that gives these ammonites a distinctive profile compared with the fully coiled shells of many other groups.

Scaphites equalis represents an ancient marine animal that lived during the early part of the Cenomanian, within the Upper Cretaceous. Its preservation within sedimentary rock records the burial of a once-living cephalopod beneath the sea floor, followed by millions of years of geological change. This specimen is therefore both an attractive natural object and a genuine piece of Britain’s deep geological past.
