Aioloceras Fossil Ammonite | Albian Cretaceous | Madagascar | Genuine Certified Specimen
£ 24.00
This is a beautifully preserved Aioloceras Fossil Ammonite, originating from the
Albian Stage of the Lower Cretaceous period, discovered in the well-known fossiliferous marine layers of Madagascar.Aioloceras is an elegant genus of ammonite, belonging to the heteromorph ammonites group, known for its uncoiled or loosely coiled shell structure. This specimen represents a superb example of Albian cephalopod evolution, displaying distinct features in its ribbing and ornamentation.All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity.The image displays the actual specimen you will receive, with a scale rule and 1cm cube included for accurate measurement. Please refer to the photo for full sizing. Geological and Taxonomic Information:
• Genus: Aioloceras
• Fossil Type: Ammonite (extinct marine cephalopod)
• Age: Lower Cretaceous, Albian Stage (~113 to 100.5 million years ago)
• Location: Madagascar
• Formation: Likely Mahajanga Basin marine limestone and marl beds
• Depositional Environment: Warm, shallow marine shelf with carbonate-rich sedimentation
• Geological Stage: Albian Taxonomic Classification:
• Order: Ammonitida
• Superfamily: Ancyloceratoidea
• Family: Turrilitidae
• Genus: Aioloceras
• Formally Described By: Hyatt, 1900 Morphology & Notable Features:
• Distinct heteromorph coiling with loosely coiled to uncoiled whorls
• Fine ribbing along the shell, sometimes with subtle tuberculation
• Shell displays early evolutionary traits seen in turrilitid lineage
• Highly desirable for its unique form and well-preserved detail Scientific & Collector Significance:Aioloceras ammonites serve as important indicators of mid-Cretaceous heteromorph diversity. Their unusual coiling makes them stand out in fossil collections, and specimens from Madagascar are known for their excellent preservation and preparation quality. Specimen Details:
• Approximate Size: Please see photo with 1cm scale cube for dimensions
• Condition: Professionally prepared with detailed preservation
• Origin: Madagascar
• Includes: Certificate of Authenticity Ideal For:
• Collectors of Cretaceous ammonites and unusual heteromorphs
• Paleontological educators or institutions
• Museum-quality fossil display
• Thoughtful gift for fossil enthusiasts and science lovers
