RARE PLATYPLEUROCERAS Ammonite Fossil Upper Lias Jurassic Whitby Yorkshire UK Genuine Specimen
£ 12.60
This rare Platypuleuroceras ammonite fossil was discovered in the world-renowned
fossil locality of Whitby, North Yorkshire, UK. Dating from the Upper Lias (Lower Jurassic), approximately 183 to 174 million years ago, this fossil represents a well-preserved example of the extinct marine cephalopods that thrived in the ancient Jurassic seas.Platypuleuroceras is known for its involute shell structure with a compressed, disc-shaped form and relatively smooth flanks, sometimes exhibiting fine ribbing. These ammonites are members of the Hildoceratidae family, a group notable for their elegant and varied shell morphology and ecological significance during the Early Jurassic.This particular specimen comes from the Whitby Mudstone Formation, which is famous for preserving high-quality marine fossils. The depositional environment was a deep marine basin with anoxic bottom conditions, aiding exceptional fossil preservation.The photo shows the exact fossil you will receive.
