RARE Sharpeiceras schlueteri Ammonite Fossil | Lower Cenomanian Cretaceous | Cap Blanc Nez, France | Genuine Fossil w/ COA

Description

Presenting a RARE Sharpeiceras schlueteri ammonite fossil from the Lower Cenomanian stage of the Cretaceous period, collected from the world-renowned fossil locality of Cap Blanc Nez, France.

This beautifully preserved chalk ammonite showcases the classic features of the genus Sharpeiceras. The fossil is a standout collector’s piece from a marine chalk formation that once covered much of northwestern Europe during the mid-Cretaceous.

You will receive the exact specimen shown in the photographs, with scale cube (1cm squares) included for accurate sizing. All of our fossils are 100% genuine and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Geological & Scientific Information:

• Species: Sharpeiceras schlueteri
• Type: Fossil Ammonite (extinct marine mollusc)
• Geological Period: Cretaceous
• Stage: Lower Cenomanian (approx. 100.5 to 93.9 million years ago)
• Location Found: Cap Blanc Nez, Hauts-de-France, France
• Order: Ammonitida
• Superfamily: Acanthoceratoidea
• Family: Acanthoceratidae
• Morphological Features: Typically involute with strongly ribbed ornamentation, bearing prominent tubercles on the whorl shoulders. Shell structure ideal for stratigraphic classification.
• Depositional Environment: Chalk sediment formed in warm, shallow marine shelf settings during a global sea-level highstand of the mid-Cretaceous.
• Biozone/Zone: Lower Cenomanian ammonite zones (exact subzone may require local stratigraphic correlation).
• Scientific Importance: This species serves as a biostratigraphic marker for Lower Cenomanian deposits in the Paris Basin and across other European localities.

Additional Notes:

Sharpeiceras schlueteri is highly sought after due to its diagnostic features and scarcity in well-preserved form. Its presence helps paleontologists to accurately date chalk strata and reconstruct palaeoenvironmental conditions of the mid-Cretaceous seas.
