Original price was: £84.00.Current price is: £75.60.

This listing features a beautifully sectioned and polished Cenoceras Nautilus fossil, discovered on the world-renowned Jurassic Coast at Burton Bradstock, Dorset, UK. Dating to the Jurassic Period and preserved in the Inferior Oolite Formation, this specimen is a stunning example of ancient marine life that thrived over 170 million years ago.

Cenoceras is a genus of extinct nautiloids—an ancient group of cephalopods that includes modern nautiluses and are closely related to squid and octopuses. These marine creatures had coiled, chambered shells that allowed them to control buoyancy as they moved through the oceans. Unlike ammonites, Cenoceras featured smooth, rounded shells with less complex suture lines, giving them a more elegant appearance.

This specimen has been carefully sliced and polished, revealing the internal chamber structures of the shell. These chambers, once filled with gas or fluid, helped the animal maintain neutral buoyancy. The intricate patterns and natural mineralisation within the fossil create a striking visual appeal, making it a superb collector’s item or unique decorative piece.

Your specimen was discovered by our own team members Alister and Alison on 17 January 2025 and has been meticulously cleaned, prepped, and treated by Alison for quality and preservation.

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.
