This 11-inch ammonite fossil from Southern Alberta offers a well-preserved example of Late Cretaceous marine life, dating back approximately 70 million years. Carefully prepared to retain its natural morphology and surface detail, the specimen illustrates the classic coiled shell structure that allowed ammonites to thrive as efficient swimmers in prehistoric oceans.
Recovered from one of Canada’s most scientifically significant fossil-bearing regions, this ammonite provides valuable educational insight into ancient marine ecosystems, evolutionary biology, and the geological history of Western Canada. Its manageable scale makes it particularly well suited for hands-on educational displays, teaching collections, and smaller museum or institutional exhibits.
An authentic, one-of-a-kind fossil, this specimen serves as a tangible record of deep time and an accessible introduction to the study of prehistoric life.
