RARE Goniatite Fossil – WOCKLUMERIA – Upper Devonian – Moroc
£ 8.40
This listing features a rare and genuine Goniatite Fossil of the genus
Wocklumeria, collected from the Upper Devonian strata of Morocco. Wocklumeria is an extinct genus of ammonoid cephalopods known for its evolutionary importance in the transition toward more complex ammonite morphologiesFossil Type & Species:
• Type: Fossilised Goniatite Ammonoid
• Genus: WocklumeriaGeological Context:
• Era: Paleozoic
• Period: Devonian
• Stage: Upper Devonian
• Locality: Morocco
• Depositional Environment: Marine shelf conditions, supporting diverse cephalopod faunas during the Late DevonianMorphological Features:
• Typically discoidal shell form with pronounced lobes and saddles in the suture lines
• Coiling tight but not completely involute
• Often displays moderate ribbing and growth linesScientific Notes:
• Wocklumeria is notable for its placement near the base of the ammonoid lineage leading into the Carboniferous period
• Represents part of the recovery fauna after the Kellwasser extinction event near the Frasnian–Famennian boundaryTaxonomy:
• Order: Goniatitida
• Superfamily: Tornocerataceae
• Family: Wocklumeriidae
• Formally Described By: Schindewolf, 1923Authenticity & Display:All of our fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. The fossil shown in the photograph is the exact piece you will receive.Please see the image for exact sizing – Scale cube = 1cm.A superb and scientifically significant goniatite from the Devonian seas of Morocco – ideal for fossil collectors, educational displays, or as a striking natural history piece.
