RARE Triassic Ammonite Fossil – LONGOBARDITES CANADENSE – Toad Formation – Middle Triassic – British Columbia, Canada

£18.00

This listing features a RARE and genuine Triassic ammonite fossil of the species Longobardites canadense, recovered from the Toad Formation near the Tetsa River in Northern British Columbia, Canada. A scientifically valuable and visually striking specimen from the Middle Triassic marine ecosystem.

Fossil Type & Species:

  • Type: Fossilised Ammonite (extinct marine cephalopod)
  • Species: Longobardites canadense

Geological Context:

  • Era: Mesozoic
  • Period: Triassic
  • Stage: Middle Triassic (Anisian–Ladinian)
  • Formation: Toad Formation
  • Locality: Tetsa River, Northern British Columbia, Canada
  • Depositional Environment: Marine basin environment characterised by deep shelf settings with invertebrate faunal assemblages

Morphological Features:

  • Shell with pronounced ribbing and compressed whorls
  • Distinct ventrolateral tubercles in some specimens
  • Typical ceratitid suture patterns
  • Medium-sized, discoidal morphology

Scientific Notes:

  • Longobardites is a key ceratitid genus within Middle Triassic ammonoid faunas and is important for global correlation of Triassic strata.
  • This species represents an evolutionary stage in ammonoid recovery and diversification following the end-Permian mass extinction.

Taxonomy:

  • Order: Ceratitida
  • Superfamily: Longobarditaceae
  • Family: Longobarditidae
  • Formally Described By: Described in Canadian Triassic fossil literature; genus first described by Mojsisovics

Triassic Information

The Triassic Period (252–201 million years ago) marked the beginning of the Mesozoic Era, following the Permian-Triassic mass extinction, the most severe extinction event in Earth's history. The climate was hot and dry, with vast deserts and little polar ice. Life slowly recovered, leading to the rise of the first dinosaurs, pterosaurs (flying reptiles), and early mammals. Reptiles, including large archosaurs (ancestors of crocodiles and dinosaurs), dominated both land and sea. In the oceans, ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs thrived alongside ammonites and early coral reefs. The first true conifers and ginkgo trees spread across the land. The period ended with another mass extinction, paving the way for the Jurassic and the golden age of dinosaurs.
