Description
Cut and Polished Dactylioceras commune Ammonite Fossil
This attractive cut and polished ammonite nodule is identified as Dactylioceras commune, a Jurassic ammonite from the Lower Toarcian. Its polished surface presents the fossil in a display-friendly form, making it suitable for fossil collectors, geology enthusiasts, educational collections and decorative natural history displays.
Fossil Identification
The specimen is identified as Dactylioceras commune. It is described as Lower Toarcian in age, within the Jurassic Period. Dactylioceras is an ammonite genus, and ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with coiled shells. Their fossils are widely valued for the detailed spiral form and the insight they provide into Jurassic marine environments.
The Lower Toarcian forms part of the Early Jurassic. Ammonites from this interval are particularly important to geology because ammonite appearances and evolutionary changes help specialists compare and date Jurassic marine rock sequences. This specimen offers a tangible example of that geological history in a cut and polished nodule format.
Cut and Polished Display Piece
The prepared surface is designed to reveal the fossil within the nodule while providing a smooth, polished presentation. It can be displayed flat or incorporated into a carefully arranged fossil collection, depending on the collector’s preferred presentation. The natural fossil content and polished finish give the piece interest both as a scientific specimen and as a distinctive geological display item.
This fossil is associated with Whitby, UK, a location widely recognised for its Jurassic fossil heritage and collecting tradition. The combination of a named ammonite identification, Lower Toarcian Jurassic age and Whitby association makes this an appealing addition to collections focused on British fossils, ammonites or Jurassic geology.
Collector and Gift Appeal
