£ 24.00
This listing features a rare and well-preserved fossil of Binatisphinctes
pseudomosquens, a distinctive ammonite species from the Middle Callovian stage of the Jurassic period. The specimen originates from the fossil-rich limestone deposits of Vienne, France, an area known for its high-quality Jurassic marine fossils.Geological Context:
• Fossil Type: Ammonite (Extinct marine mollusc related to squid and octopus)
• Species: Binatisphinctes pseudomosquens (Dumortier, 1874)
• Order: Ammonitida
• Superfamily: Perisphinctoidea
• Family: Perisphinctidae
• Geological Stage: Middle Callovian (c. 165.3 to 161.2 million years ago)
• Formation: Callovian marine limestones of the Paris Basin margin
• Depositional Environment: Shallow marine shelf with carbonate sedimentation and open marine influenceAmmonites such as Binatisphinctes pseudomosquens are highly valued by collectors for their well-defined ribbing and biostratigraphic significance. This species represents a key component of the mid-Jurassic ammonite fauna of western Europe.Morphology & Notable Features:
• Moderately evolute shell with prominent ribbing
• Bifurcating ribs that extend across the flanks and venter
• Rounded to subangular venter, typically lacking keels
• Classic Perisphinctid suture lines, complex and ornate
• A rare ammonite not often seen in the commercial fossil tradeBiozone Association: Binatisphinctes pseudomosquens is commonly found in the Athleta Zone of the Middle Callovian and is used in European biostratigraphy to correlate mid-Jurassic marine sequences.Specimen Details:
• Origin: Vienne, France
• Age: Middle Callovian Stage, Jurassic (~163 million years old)
• Scale: Scale rule square/cube = 1cm. Please refer to photo for accurate sizing
• Condition: Carefully selected specimen with clear morphological detail
• Photo: The exact specimen shown is the one you will receiveCertification & Authenticity: All of our fossils are 100% genuine specimens and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Each piece is expertly curated to ensure quality, authenticity, and scientific interest.This rare Binatisphinctes pseudomosquens ammonite is a striking and valuable addition to any fossil collection or natural history display. It exemplifies the beauty and complexity of marine life from the Middle Jurassic seas of France.
