type: Product
description: Rare Euphylloceras velledae Ammonite Fossil from Russia This listing offers a rare Euphylloceras velledae ammonite fossil, dating from the Aptian stage of the Early Cretaceous period, discovered in Russia. This exceptional fossil is a scientifically important specimen that represents a unique stage in ammonite evolution, approximately 125–113 million years old. Each fossil is carefully photographed, with a 1 cm scale cube included for accurate sizing. The specimen shown in the images is the exact piece you will receive, and it comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring its genuine provenance and collector value. Geological Context – Aptian Stage, Early Cretaceous The Aptian stage of the Early Cretaceous was marked by significant marine transgressions and widespread shallow seas, which provided ideal conditions for ammonite diversification. In Russia, these deposits contain a rich fossil record, including both invertebrates and marine reptiles, offering a valuable window into life during this dynamic time. Ammonites such as Euphylloceras velledae thrived in these marine environments, contributing to the biodiversity of the Cretaceous oceans. Their global distribution and distinct morphology also make them important index fossils for stratigraphic correlation, helping geologists date rock layers with high precision. Species Overview – Euphylloceras velledae The genus Euphylloceras is a member of the Order Ammonitida and the Family Phylloceratidae, known for its elegantly coiled and often ornamented shells. Euphylloceras velledae is a distinctive species with several notable features: A strongly involute shell, meaning the outer whorls envelop much of the inner coiling. Smooth to slightly ribbed flanks, with growth lines curving gently towards the aperture. A globular, inflated shape, giving it a robust but graceful appearance. Intricate suture patterns, typical of the Phylloceratidae, with highly complex lobes and saddles. These morphological traits indicate t…
