Rare Fossil Ammonite Kepplerites galilaeii, Jurassic, Lower Callovian, France, Genuine with COA
£ 24.00
This listing features a beautifully preserved Fossil Ammonite of Kepplerites
galilaeii from the Lower Callovian Stage of the Jurassic Period, discovered in France. This is a carefully selected specimen, and the photograph displays the actual fossil you will receive, ensuring full transparency.Scale rule and cube are included in the photos — each square/cube = 1cm. For exact measurements, please refer to the provided images. Key Geological and Scientific Information:
• Species: Kepplerites galilaeii
• Fossil Type: Ammonite (extinct marine cephalopod)
• Geological Period: Jurassic
• Geological Stage: Lower Callovian (Middle Jurassic)
• Location: France
• Approximate Age: ~164 million years ago
• Order: Ammonitida
• Superfamily: Stephanoceratoidea
• Family: Kosmoceratidae Morphology Features: Kepplerites galilaeii is known for its relatively involute shell with strong ribbing and characteristic tuberculation near the ventrolateral shoulder. The ribs bifurcate from a slight umbilical tubercle and continue toward a rounded venter, typical of many Callovian ammonites. Depositional Environment: These ammonites are commonly found in offshore marine sediments deposited in calm, low-energy conditions typical of mid-shelf environments during the Jurassic. The French deposits from which this specimen originated are known for their rich fossil content and excellent preservation. Biozone & Zone Information: Kepplerites galilaeii is the index species for the Kepplerites galilaeii Zone, a primary ammonite biozone used in Lower Callovian biostratigraphy. It is significant for correlations across European Jurassic marine sequences. Scientific Significance: Kepplerites represents an important genus for Jurassic ammonite classification and evolutionary studies. Its well-preserved ribbing and zonal position make it a valuable piece for collectors, researchers, and educators alike. Identification & History: Formally described by d’Orbigny in the 19th century, Kepplerites galilaeii holds taxonomic and historical relevance in paleontological literature. Authenticity Guarantee: All of our fossils are 100% genuine specimens and are selected for their aesthetic, scientific, and educational value. Each specimen is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. This is a rare opportunity to own a scientifically important ammonite from a classic Jurassic locality in France.
