Fossilised Scaphites
Own a remarkable piece of prehistoric marine history with this genuine Scaphites Fossil, dating back to the Late Cretaceous Period, approximately 70–80 million years ago. Unearthed in South Dakota, USA, this beautifully preserved fossil represents an extinct marine cephalopod that once inhabited the ancient inland seas of North America.
Unlike the familiar spiral shape of ammonites, Scaphites developed a distinctive hooked shell during adulthood, making them one of the most unusual and sought-after cephalopod fossils. Their intricate shell pattern and unique form have made them favourites among collectors, educators, and fossil enthusiasts alike.
Each specimen is securely presented in a protective acrylic display case with an identification card, making it ideal for display while helping preserve this incredible piece of Earth's natural history.
