Identification and Geological Context

Dactylioceras commune is an ammonite from the Lower Toarcian stage of the Jurassic Period. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses. They lived in ancient seas and developed coiled shells that are now widely represented in the fossil record. Fossils from the Lower Toarcian are of particular interest because this interval forms part of the Early Jurassic and is well known for important marine fossil discoveries.

The Dactylioceras genus is commonly associated with Jurassic ammonite studies and is valued by collectors for its connection to historical geological research. This specimen offers an accessible way to explore ammonite identification, Jurassic marine life and the fossil heritage of Whitby and Yorkshire.
