A-grade Parkinsonia parkinsoni Ammonite Fossil – 4.75″ – Inferior Oolite – Burton Bradstock Dorset UK – Genuine with Certificate

Original price was: £180.00.Current price is: £162.00.

An impressive 4.75-inch A-grade fossil of Parkinsonia parkinsoni, discovered by our expert fossil hunters Alister and Alison on 17 January 2025, from the famous Inferior Oolite strata at Burton Bradstock, part of the Jurassic Coast, Dorset, UK.

This ammonite has been carefully prepared, cleaned and treated by Alison and is presented exactly as shown in the photograph — the actual specimen you will receive. Its intricate shell pattern and strong ribbing make it a visually striking and scientifically valuable piece.

Parkinsonia parkinsoni is one of the most iconic Middle Jurassic ammonites. It displays a robust, evolute shell with bold, sinuous ribs crossing the venter — a morphology that makes it highly recognisable and a zonal index fossil for the Parkinsonia parkinsoni Zone.

This species is commonly used to date rocks in the Bajocian Stage of the Middle Jurassic and is often associated with well-oxygenated shallow marine carbonate environments, as seen in the Inferior Oolite Formation.

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.
