Description

Dactylioceras commune Fossil

This Dactylioceras commune specimen is identified as a Jurassic ammonite from Yorkshire, UK. It is a natural fossil suitable for collectors, fossil enthusiasts, geology students, educational displays and anyone interested in the ancient marine life of the Jurassic period. The combination of the named fossil identification and Yorkshire origin gives this piece clear appeal as a regional geological collectible.

Fossil Identification

Dactylioceras is an ammonite genus, belonging to an extinct group of marine cephalopods that lived in the seas of the Jurassic Period. Ammonites are especially valued by collectors because their coiled shells provide a distinctive record of ancient marine ecosystems and geological time. Dactylioceras commune is presented here as the supplied identification for this fossil specimen.

Ammonites were mobile marine animals related in a broad biological sense to modern cephalopods such as squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses. Their chambered shells helped them regulate buoyancy in the water, while the fossilised shell remains can preserve important details for geological study and collector appreciation. Jurassic ammonites are widely collected for their scientific interest, visual character and connection to the ancient environments in which they lived.

Yorkshire Fossil Locality

Yorkshire is well known among fossil collectors for its important Jurassic geology and coastal fossil-bearing exposures. Fossils from the region are sought after for their connection to the geological history of northern England and the ancient marine environments represented by Jurassic rocks. This Dactylioceras commune fossil is associated with Yorkshire, UK, making it a meaningful addition to a British fossil collection or a display focused on Jurassic palaeontology.

Collector and Display Use

This fossil can be displayed as a standalone geological specimen or incorporated into a collection of ammonites, Jurassic fossils or Yorkshire fossils. It is also suitable for educational use when discussing fossilisation, extinct marine organisms, ammonite evolution and the importance of regional geology. Its named identification makes it useful for collectors who organise specimens by genus, species, geological period or locality.

The supplied specimen is a natural geological item, so its appearance may include the individual characteristics produced by fossilisation and preservation. These natural features contribute to the authenticity and individuality of each specimen. Full sizing is shown in the photographs.
