Goliathiceras cyclops Ammonite Fossil Jurassic Poland COA Genuine Oxfordian Zalas Collector Display Specimen
£ 4.80
GENUINE GOLIATHICERAS CYCLOPS AMMONITE FOSSILThis listing is for a genuine Goliathiceras cyclops ammonite fossil from the
Upper Jurassic, Oxfordian Stage, collected from Zalas, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland. This carefully chosen fossil specimen is a desirable and unusual European Jurassic ammonite, ideal for collectors of ammonites, Polish fossils, fossil cephalopods, prehistoric marine life, natural history specimens, and educational geology displays.The photograph shows the actual fossil specimen you will receive, so the colour, preservation, shape, surface texture, and individual fossil character shown in the image belong to this exact piece. For full sizing, scale, and display proportions, please see the photo. FOSSIL TYPE AND SPECIES INFORMATIONThis fossil is an ammonite, an extinct marine cephalopod related to modern squid, cuttlefish, octopus, and nautilus. Ammonites are among the most iconic fossils of the Jurassic Period, recognised for their spiral shells, chambered internal structure, varied ornamentation, and strong importance in dating ancient marine rock layers.The species is Goliathiceras cyclops, an Upper Jurassic ammonite associated with Oxfordian marine deposits. As an ammonite, this fossil represents the mineralised shell of a marine animal that lived more than 150 million years ago. The living animal occupied the final outer body chamber, while the earlier internal chambers helped regulate buoyancy in the water column.The genus Goliathiceras is a particularly striking name for collectors and suggests a bold ammonite form with strong visual presence. Depending on preservation, specimens may show planispiral coiling, whorl development, ribbing, shell sculpture, natural mineralisation, and surface detail. The species name cyclops gives this fossil added collector appeal, making it a memorable labelled specimen for a Jurassic ammonite collection. UPPER JURASSIC OXFORDIAN AGEThis ammonite dates from the Upper Jurassic Period, specifically the Oxfordian Stage, approximately 163 to 157 million years old. The Oxfordian was an important interval in ammonite evolution, when ammonites were diverse, widespread, and rapidly changing across ancient marine environments.During this time, large areas of Europe were covered by warm shallow to moderately deep seas. These marine settings supported a rich ecosystem of ammonites, belemnites, bivalves, brachiopods, gastropods, crinoids, sponges, corals, fish, and marine reptiles. Ammonites such as Goliathiceras cyclops lived within these ancient waters, using their chambered shells for buoyancy while moving through the Jurassic seas.After death, the shell could settle onto the sea floor and become buried beneath sediment. Over millions of years, mineralisation, compaction, and geological pressure preserved the shell as a fossil, creating a natural record of prehistoric marine life. ZALAS, LESSER POLAND GEOLOGICAL LOCALITYThis fossil comes from Zalas, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland, a locality with important Jurassic geological interest. Polish Jurassic fossils are highly appealing to collectors because they offer classic European locality data while being less commonly encountered than ammonites from more familiar fossil regions such as France, Germany, Morocco, or the United Kingdom.The Zalas area is associated with Jurassic sedimentary rocks that preserve evidence of ancient marine environments. Fossils from this region help illustrate the seas that once covered parts of central Europe during the Late Jurassic. A fossil with accurate locality, geological stage, and species information is far more desirable than an unlabelled decorative ammonite, as it can be properly catalogued, displayed, and studied. NATURAL COLLECTOR DISPLAY SPECIMENThis Goliathiceras cyclops ammonite fossil is suitable for fossil collectors, geology students, teachers, natural history enthusiasts, and anyone interested in prehistoric marine life. It would display well in a fossil cabinet, educational teaching set, study collection, curiosity cabinet, or natural history-themed display.A labelled specimen with species, age, stage, and locality information makes an excellent addition to a scientifically organised fossil collection. It is especially suitable for collectors building a varied Jurassic ammonite display, a European fossil collection, or a selection of prehistoric marine specimens from different localities.As with all genuine fossils, the specimen may show natural characteristics such as matrix, mineral staining, surface texture, small cracks, weathering, repaired areas, or variations in preservation. These features are normal in authentic fossils and form part of the specimen’s geological history and natural appeal. 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 collecting, study, gifting, display, resale, or educational use.You will receive the exact Goliathiceras cyclops ammonite fossil shown in the photo, from the Upper Jurassic Oxfordian of Zalas, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland.
