Description

Dactylioceras commune Ammonite Fossil

This cut and polished ammonite nodule is identified as Dactylioceras commune, with the geological identification given as Lower Toarcian, Jurassic. The specimen is associated with Whitby, UK, and offers collectors an attractive example of a named Jurassic ammonite fossil prepared for display.

The ammonite belongs to a group of extinct marine cephalopod molluscs that lived in the ancient seas during the Jurassic Period. Ammonites are especially valued by fossil collectors for their recognisable coiled shells, scientific importance and connection with the changing marine environments of the Mesozoic Era. Dactylioceras is a Jurassic ammonite genus, and Dactylioceras commune provides a specific identification for this fossil rather than a general ammonite classification.

Lower Toarcian Jurassic Fossil

The Lower Toarcian represents an interval within the Jurassic geological period. Fossils from this interval are of particular interest to collectors who enjoy geological stage names and the study of Jurassic marine life. The supplied identification connects this specimen with the Lower Toarcian and with the Whitby, UK area, making it a useful addition to a collection focused on Jurassic fossils, ammonites or British fossil localities.

Cut and Polished Nodule Display

As a cut and polished nodule, this fossil has been prepared to make the specimen suitable for examination and display. Its named identification and Jurassic age designation make it appropriate for fossil cabinets, geology displays, educational collections and collectors who appreciate scientifically labelled specimens. The nodule format also gives the piece a natural geological character while the polished preparation provides a presentation-ready finish.
