Stoliczkaia Fossil Ammonite | Rare Upper Albian Cretaceous | Pénzesgyőr, Hungary | Genuine Certified Specimen

Original price was: £62.40.Current price is: £55.20.

A rare and scientifically valuable specimen of Stoliczkaia, an extinct genus of ammonite from the Upper Albian Stage of the Cretaceous Period, collected from the fossiliferous outcrops of Pénzesgyőr, Hungary.

Stoliczkaia is known for its slender, compressed shell and complex ribbing pattern, traits which make it a prized fossil among collectors and researchers alike. This particular specimen is a wonderful representation from the Hungarian region, where Upper Albian marine sediments have preserved an important range of ammonite fauna.

All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

The photo shows the actual specimen you will receive, alongside a 1cm scale cube for precise sizing. Please refer to the image for full measurement details.

Cretaceous Information

The Cretaceous Period (145–66 million years ago) was the final era of the Mesozoic, marked by the dominance of dinosaurs and the rise of flowering plants. It had a warm, greenhouse climate, with high sea levels that created vast shallow inland seas. Marine life flourished, including mosasaurs, ammonites, and rudist reefs, while the land was ruled by iconic dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Spinosaurus. Mammals and birds diversified, and insects thrived. The period ended with the mass extinction event, likely caused by an asteroid impact, wiping out the dinosaurs and paving the way for the rise of mammals in the Cenozoic.
