Pleuroceras solare Fossil Ammonite, Upper Pliensbachian, Jurassic: Germany – 100% Genuine with Certificate of Authenticity
£ 12.60
This Pleuroceras solare fossil ammonite is an exceptional specimen from the
Upper Pliensbachian Stage of the Jurassic Period, discovered in Germany. Pleuroceras solare is an ammonite species recognized for its distinctive coiled shell and fine ribbing. The ammonite fossil is well-preserved and offers a fascinating insight into the marine ecosystems of the Jurassic period, specifically from the Pliensbachian stage. GEOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
• Geological Stage: Upper Pliensbachian, Jurassic (Approximately 183 to 174 million years ago)
• Depositional Environment: During the Upper Pliensbachian, shallow seas covered much of what is now Germany, providing an ideal environment for ammonites like Pleuroceras solare to thrive. The fossil was preserved in sedimentary rock deposits formed by the accumulation of marine life. The seas were warm and nutrient-rich, supporting a diverse range of organisms, including ammonites, bivalves, and plankton. The fossil's preservation in limestone and marl gives it excellent clarity, allowing us to examine the detailed structure of the ammonite's shell.
• Biozone: This fossil comes from the Upper Pliensbachian biozone, a time when ammonites were thriving in warm seas. The biozone provides insight into the marine biodiversity of the period and the evolution of ammonites. Fossils from this biozone contribute valuable information about the Jurassic marine ecosystems. FOSSIL FEATURES:
• Family: Ammonitidae
• Super Family: Ammonoidea
• Order: Ammonitida
• Morphology: The Pleuroceras solare ammonite features a distinctively ribbed, evolute shell. The whorls are tightly coiled, expanding outward as the ammonite matured. The ribs on the shell are evenly spaced and clearly defined, adding texture and depth to the ammonite’s appearance. This species is noted for its well-defined ribs and smooth, slightly flattened shell. The suture lines are visible in the fossil, providing further insight into its evolutionary development. NOTABLE DETAILS:
• This fossil is 100% GENUINE and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring its authenticity and historical significance.
• The specimen has been carefully selected for its high-quality preservation. The photograph provided shows the actual specimen you will receive, ensuring full transparency in your purchase.
• Scale Rule: The scale rule squares/cube shown in the photo represents 1cm, allowing you to accurately gauge the size of the fossil. Full sizing details are available in the photograph.Condition:This Pleuroceras solare Fossil Ammonite is in excellent condition, showcasing its distinctive ribbing, evolute shell, and well-preserved suture lines. The fossil has been cleaned and treated for display, making it an ideal addition to any Jurassic ammonite collection or for those interested in the marine life of the Upper Pliensbachian period.
