Description

Fossil Identification

This listing features a cut and polished Dactylioceras commune ammonite fossil nodule. The specimen is identified as Dactylioceras commune and is associated with the Lower Toarcian stage of the Jurassic period. Its Whitby, UK association makes it an appealing addition for collectors interested in British Jurassic fossils, ammonites, and the fossil heritage of the Yorkshire coast.

Ammonite Fossil Details

Dactylioceras commune is an ammonite, an extinct marine cephalopod group known for its coiled fossil shells. Ammonites lived in ancient seas and are among the most recognisable fossils in geological collections. Their strong connection with Jurassic rocks makes them especially popular with fossil collectors, geology students, museum-style display enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the history of life.

The Lower Toarcian belongs to the Jurassic period and represents an important interval in the geological record of ammonites and other marine organisms. This fossil identification offers a direct connection to that period, while the Whitby, UK location links the piece with one of Britain’s best-known areas for Jurassic fossil collecting.

Cut and Polished Presentation

The nodule has been cut and polished to provide a clearer, more attractive presentation for viewing. Polished fossil surfaces are well suited to display cases, shelves, study collections, educational settings, and geological interiors. The prepared finish helps the identified ammonite fossil serve as both a natural history specimen and a decorative conversation piece.

Because this is a genuine fossil specimen, it is appropriate for collectors who value natural geological material and scientifically identified pieces. Dactylioceras commune provides a specific identification rather than simply being described as a general ammonite, making the specimen particularly suitable for labelled fossil collections and Jurassic-themed displays.

Whitby, UK Jurassic Connection

Whitby is widely recognised for its association with Jurassic fossils and coastal geology. A fossil identified with Whitby, UK can add regional interest to a collection focused on British palaeontology, Yorkshire geology, or Lower Jurassic marine life. The combination of the Dactylioceras commune identification, Lower Toarcian age designation, and cut-and-polished nodule format gives this piece strong appeal for collectors seeking a distinctive Jurassic ammonite specimen.
