CATASIGALOCERAS SP. Fossil Ammonite – Lower Callovian, Jurassic – Water Park, United Kingdom

About the Fossil:

This well-preserved Catasigaloceras sp. ammonite fossil originates from the Lower Callovian stage of the Middle Jurassic (~166-164 million years ago) and was discovered in Water Park, United Kingdom. Catasigaloceras is a genus of moderately involute ammonites, recognized for their fine ribbing, strong keel, and well-defined whorls, making them valuable specimens for collectors and researchers.

During the Middle Jurassic, ammonites like Catasigaloceras sp. thrived in shallow marine environments, where they were active swimmers and played a crucial role in the prehistoric ocean ecosystem. The Lower Callovian deposits of Water Park are known for their rich ammonite-bearing formations, providing insight into cephalopod evolution and Jurassic marine biodiversity.
