4.5″ Amoeboceras prionodoceras prionodes Ammonite Fossil – Upper Oxfordian, Jurassic: Dorset, UK – Alice Purnell Collection

Original price was: £240.00.Current price is: £216.00.

Offered for sale is an exquisite fossil ammonite specimen of Amoeboceras prionodoceras prionodes, a beautifully preserved cephalopod from the Upper Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic Period, approximately 157–163 million years old. This specimen was dredged from Weymouth Bay, Dorset, on the world-famous Jurassic Coast.

Amoeboceras is a genus of extinct ammonite belonging to the subclass Ammonoidea and the family Cardioceratidae, known for their strong ribbing and tight coiling. These ammonites lived in ancient marine environments and are valuable biostratigraphic indicators, particularly for the Late Jurassic.

The Oxfordian Stage marks the earliest part of the Upper Jurassic, characterised by diverse marine life including ammonites, marine reptiles, and early seabed ecosystems. Fossils from this time are particularly sought after for their quality and historic geological importance.

This specimen has been carefully curated and comes from the highly respected Alice Purnell Collection, known for housing rare and scientifically significant fossils. It has been professionally cleaned, prepared, and treated to preserve its detail and stability.

Jurassic Information

The Jurassic Period (201–145 million years ago) was the golden age of dinosaurs, with iconic species like Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Allosaurus dominating the land. It was a time of warm, humid climates, with high sea levels that created vast shallow seas, supporting abundant marine reptiles, ammonites, and early coral reefs. The first birds, such as Archaeopteryx, evolved from small theropod dinosaurs, while early mammals remained small and nocturnal. Lush forests of cycads, conifers, and ferns covered the land, providing food for giant herbivores. The breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea accelerated, shaping Earth's geography and setting the stage for the diverse ecosystems of the Cretaceous.
