Scientific & Geological Information:

  • Genus: Cadoceras (formally described by Fischer, 1837)
  • Family: Cadoceratidae
  • Superfamily: Stephanoceratoidea
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Geological Stage: Lower Callovian (Middle Jurassic)
  • Formation: Oxford Clay
  • Zone: Macrocephalites Zone (likely)
  • Biozone: Cadoceras elatmae Biozone (regional correlation)
  • Depositional Environment: Low-energy marine shelf with fine-grained clay deposition; anoxic bottom conditions that favoured exceptional fossil preservation
  • Morphology Features: Strongly ribbed, involute to moderately evolute shell with deep constrictions and thick whorls; the ribbing is dense and bifurcating, a classic trait of Cadoceras
  • Notable: Cadoceras is a key biostratigraphic marker in the Callovian and is rarely found in such complete, display-worthy condition. It holds importance in understanding Jurassic marine faunal succession in northern Europe.

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.
