RARE Schloenbachia varians subvarians Fossil Ammonite | Lower Cenomanian Cretaceous | Yaverland Isle of Wight UK
£36.00
A beautifully preserved and rare fossil ammonite: Schloenbachia varians subvarians from the Lower Cenomanian Stage of the Early Late Cretaceous, collected from the well-known fossil site at Yaverland, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom. This genuine ammonite exhibits the classic ornamentation of the Schloenbachia group and provides significant palaeontological value for collectors and researchers alike.
The fossil shown is the exact specimen you will receive, professionally photographed with a 1cm scale cube for accurate size reference. Please see images for detailed condition and sizing.
Geological & Palaeontological Information:
Fossil Type: Ammonite
Species/Subspecies:Schloenbachia varians subvarians (originally described by Mantell, 1822; subspecies differentiation recognised in later studies)
Geological Period: Cretaceous
Stage: Lower Cenomanian (~100 to 96 million years ago)
Location: Yaverland, Isle of Wight, England, UK
Depositional Environment: Marine shelf setting; glauconitic sands and clays of the Lower Chalk and Upper Greensand transitional beds
Order: Ammonitida
Superfamily: Acanthoceratoidea
Family: Schloenbachiidae
Biozone (Inferred): Possibly within the Mantelliceras mantelli or early Schloenbachia varians Biozone of the Lower Cenomanian
Morphological Features:
Highly variable coiling and ornamentation (as suggested by the name “varians”)
Typically displays strong, sinuous ribs with ventrolateral tubercles
Moderately involute with compressed whorls and a rounded or slightly keeled venter
Fine suture lines may be visible depending on preservation quality
Notable Points:
Schloenbachia varians subvarians is a diagnostic ammonite for the early Cenomanian and is crucial in biostratigraphic correlation across Europe
Yaverland is one of the most important fossil localities on the Isle of Wight, known for its rich Lower Cretaceous and early Upper Cretaceous faunas
Subspecies are rare and often display transitional morphological traits, making them scientifically significant
Why This Fossil is a Special Find:
Rare UK ammonite subspecies with strong biostratigraphic value
Sourced from a classic Isle of Wight locality
Excellent display specimen with striking ribbing and form
