Description

Cut and Polished Dactylioceras commune Ammonite Fossil

This fossil specimen is identified as Dactylioceras commune, a Jurassic ammonite nodule from the Lower Toarcian. It has been cut and polished, creating a finished presentation suitable for fossil collectors, geological displays and natural history collections. The supplied specimen is associated with Whitby, UK, a location widely recognised for Jurassic fossil collecting and ammonite material.

Dactylioceras commune Identification

Dactylioceras commune is an ammonite identification from the Jurassic period. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with coiled shells, and their fossilised remains are valued for their scientific importance, distinctive form and connection with ancient marine environments. The Lower Toarcian represents an interval within the Jurassic, making this specimen relevant to collectors interested in Jurassic palaeontology, ammonites and stratigraphic geology.

The nodule format gives the piece a natural geological character, while the cut and polished surface provides a clear, display-ready finish. As with all natural fossils, the appearance of the specimen reflects its individual formation and preservation. This makes it an appealing addition to a fossil cabinet, geology study collection, educational display or Jurassic-themed interior setting.

Whitby, UK Fossil Collecting

Whitby is an important name in British fossil collecting, particularly for Jurassic material. Fossils associated with the area are popular with collectors because they connect a physical specimen to the geological history of the Yorkshire coast. This Dactylioceras commune nodule is suited to anyone building a collection focused on Whitby fossils, British ammonites, Lower Toarcian material or Jurassic marine life.

Display and Collector Use

The cut and polished finish allows the specimen to be presented as a decorative geological object as well as a palaeontological collectible. It can be used in a display cabinet, on a shelf, in a classroom collection or as a conversation piece for anyone interested in fossils and Earth history. The specimen identification and geological age make it especially suitable for collectors seeking a named ammonite fossil rather than an unidentified stone.
