Fossil Liosphinctes plicatilis Ammonite – Upper Oxfordian Jurassic – Normandy France – Certified Genuine Specimen
£ 14.40
RARE Fossil Liosphinctes plicatilis AmmoniteUpper Oxfordian, Jurassic – Normandy, FranceA genuine Liosphinctes plicatilis ammonite fossil from the Upper Oxfordian stage
of the Late Jurassic, collected from the fossil-rich marine deposits of Normandy, France. This beautifully preserved specimen features the characteristic ribbing and shell architecture of the Liosphinctes genus and serves as a fine example of Jurassic cephalopods.
