Description

This stunning fossil is a genuine Brachiopod from the Kellaways Formation, a Middle Jurassic geological layer located in Wiltshire, United Kingdom. Dating back approximately 164–166 million years, this remarkable specimen captures the quiet beauty of an extinct lineage of marine invertebrates that once thrived in Earth’s ancient oceans.

Unlike bivalve molluscs such as clams, brachiopods belong to a unique phylum of their own. These filter-feeding organisms had two asymmetrical shells, and their fossil record stretches back over 500 million years. During the Jurassic period, brachiopods like this one were widespread in the warm, shallow seas that covered what is now the British Isles.

This particular fossil showcases the intricate features that defined these creatures: from fine radial ridges to the delicate shell symmetry, all beautifully preserved and enhanced by natural mineralisation over millions of years. Its warm, earthy tones and tactile surface make it not just a fossil, but a piece of natural art.

Whether you’re a seasoned fossil collector, an educator, or a lover of Earth’s ancient history, this fossil offers a tangible connection to the marine ecosystems of the Jurassic period. It’s a striking display piece and a thoughtful gift for anyone fascinated by the wonders of the prehistoric world.

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.
