£ 36.00
This listing presents a RARE fossil ammonite of the genus Acanthoceras,
originating from the Cenomanian Stage of the Cretaceous Period and discovered in the fossil-rich locality of Agadir, Morocco. This beautifully preserved marine fossil provides an exceptional glimpse into the prehistoric seas of North Africa during the mid-Cretaceous. Geological & Palaeontological Details:
• Genus: Acanthoceras
• Period: Cretaceous
• Stage: Cenomanian (~100.5 to 93.9 million years ago)
• Location: Agadir, Morocco
• Depositional Environment: Shallow epicontinental sea, carbonate-rich marine sediments
• Order: Ammonitida
• Superfamily: Acanthoceratoidea
• Family: Acanthoceratidae
• Biozone Association: Commonly associated with Calycoceras naviculare and Acanthoceras rhotomagense zones, depending on horizon
• Identification: Recognised and described in detail by multiple paleontologists including Pervinquière and others specialising in North African ammonites Morphological Features:
• Involute coiling with wide umbilicus
• Distinctive strong ribbing and prominent tubercles on flanks and venter
• Ornamentation includes broad spiral ridges and nodular projections
• Often preserved with fine detail due to original aragonite mineral replacement or infill Notable Significance:
• Acanthoceras is a key marker genus used in biostratigraphy for Cenomanian correlations globally
• These ammonites are important indicators of palaeoenvironmental conditions and faunal dispersal in the Tethys Ocean region
• Sought after by collectors for their strong ornamentation and excellent preservation potential Authenticity & Presentation:
• 100% genuine fossil, not a replica
• Includes a Certificate of Authenticity
