Description
CUT AND POLISHED AMMONITE FOSSIL
This cut and polished fossil nodule is identified as Dactylioceras commune, a Jurassic ammonite from Whitby, UK. It is specified as Lower Toarcian in age, placing it within an important interval of the Jurassic Period. The polished finish presents the fossil in a display-ready form, making it suitable for fossil collectors, geology enthusiasts, educational collections and decorative natural-history displays.
The item is supplied as a Dactylioceras commune ammonite nodule rather than as an unprepared piece. Its cut and polished presentation makes it easy to appreciate the fossil material and the natural geological character of the specimen. It can be displayed on a shelf, desk, cabinet or within a dedicated ammonite and Jurassic fossil collection.
IDENTIFICATION AND GEOLOGICAL CONTEXT
Dactylioceras commune is an ammonite identification associated with the Lower Toarcian stage of the Jurassic. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods, related in broad biological terms to modern squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses. Their fossilised shells are especially valued by collectors because ammonites provide an accessible connection to Jurassic marine life and the history of palaeontology.
The Lower Toarcian forms part of the Jurassic geological period. Whitby is a well-known UK location for Jurassic fossil collecting, and the stated locality gives this specimen a clear connection to the geology of the British Yorkshire coast. The combination of the Dactylioceras commune identification, Lower Toarcian age and Whitby locality makes this an appealing piece for anyone interested in ammonite taxonomy, Jurassic geology or British fossil material.
DISPLAY AND COLLECTOR USE
The specimen’s cut and polished finish gives it a presentation suitable for display without requiring additional preparation. It may be used as a focal piece in a fossil cabinet, as a teaching aid when discussing Jurassic ammonites, or as a distinctive natural-history gift for a collector. The nodule format also reflects the geological setting in which fossil material can be preserved and later prepared for study and display.
This fossil is intended for collectors who value clearly identified geological specimens and polished ammonite material. The supplied identification and locality information can be retained alongside the specimen as part of a personal collection record.
