Fossil Identification
Dactylioceras commune is a Jurassic ammonite. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern nautiluses, squid and cuttlefish. Their coiled shells are among the most recognisable fossils from the Mesozoic Era and are especially valued for their scientific interest, distinctive form and importance in understanding ancient marine environments.
The Lower Toarcian forms part of the Early Jurassic. Ammonites from this interval are of particular interest to collectors because they help document marine life during a significant period in Jurassic geological history. The identification of Dactylioceras commune gives this specimen added appeal for anyone building a focused ammonite collection or studying Jurassic fossil material.
