£ 18.00
GENUINE TARAMELLICERAS TUBERCULATUM AMMONITE FOSSILThis listing is for a genuine Taramelliceras tuberculatum ammonite fossil from
the Upper Jurassic, Oxfordian Stage, collected from Niort, Deux-Sèvres, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. This is a carefully chosen fossil specimen, ideal for collectors of Jurassic ammonites, fossil cephalopods, natural history pieces, educational geology specimens, and display fossils.The photograph shows the actual fossil specimen you will receive, so you can buy with confidence knowing the shape, preservation, colour, and natural detail shown in the images belong to this individual piece. For full sizing and scale, please see the photo. FOSSIL TYPE, SPECIES AND CLASSIFICATIONThis fossil is an ammonite, an extinct marine cephalopod related to modern squid, octopus, cuttlefish, and nautilus. Ammonites are among the most iconic fossils of the Jurassic seas, widely collected for their spiral shells, ribbing, ornamentation, and scientific importance in dating ancient rock layers.The species represented here is Taramelliceras tuberculatum, a Jurassic ammonite known from Oxfordian marine deposits. The genus Taramelliceras belongs to the ammonite group commonly associated with ornate, compressed shells and distinctive sculptural features. As the species name tuberculatum suggests, this ammonite is associated with tuberculate ornamentation, meaning raised nodes or small rounded projections may form part of the shell sculpture. Depending on preservation, specimens can show a combination of coiling, ribbing, whorl shape, and natural surface detail that reflects the original shell form of the living animal. UPPER JURASSIC OXFORDIAN AGEThis ammonite dates from the Upper Jurassic Period, specifically the Oxfordian Stage, making it approximately around 163 to 157 million years old. During this time, much of Europe was covered by warm, shallow epicontinental seas. These marine environments supported a rich ecosystem of ammonites, belemnites, marine reptiles, bivalves, brachiopods, crinoids, corals, fish, and other sea life.Ammonites such as Taramelliceras tuberculatum were active marine animals that lived in the water column, using their chambered shells for buoyancy control. Their fossil shells are now preserved in ancient sedimentary rocks that formed from muds, silts, and carbonate-rich deposits laid down on the Jurassic sea floor. LOCATION: NIORT, DEUX-SÈVRES, FRANCEThis specimen comes from Niort, Deux-Sèvres, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, an area well known for Jurassic fossil-bearing strata. French Jurassic ammonites are highly regarded by collectors because of their scientific interest, classic European locality data, and attractive preservation. Fossils from this region help represent the marine life of western Europe during the Oxfordian, when ammonites were diverse and widespread across ancient seas.The locality information adds strong educational and collector value, making this fossil suitable not only as a display piece but also as a labelled reference specimen for a fossil collection, teaching set, geology cabinet, or natural history display. NATURAL DISPLAY FOSSIL FOR COLLECTORSThis Taramelliceras ammonite fossil is a genuine natural specimen, selected for its fossil interest, visual appeal, and provenance. It would make an excellent addition to a collection of Jurassic fossils, French fossils, ammonites, fossil cephalopods, marine fossils, or prehistoric display specimens.As with all natural fossils, the piece may show age-related features such as matrix, surface texture, natural cracks, mineral staining, repaired or weathered areas, and variations in preservation. These are normal characteristics of genuine fossils and form part of the specimen’s natural history. CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY INCLUDEDThis fossil is a genuine specimen and includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card. This provides reassurance that the fossil supplied is authentic and suitable for collectors, educational use, display, or gifting.You will receive the actual Taramelliceras tuberculatum ammonite fossil shown in the photograph, complete with its stated locality and geological information.
