DARELLIA POLITICA Fossil Ammonite Bajocian Jurassic Beaminster UK

£36.00

This listing features a fine example of the ammonite species Darellia politica, a fossil from the Bajocian Stage of the Middle Jurassic, collected from Beaminster, United Kingdom. This ammonite comes from the Inferior Oolite Group, a classic Jurassic sequence representing a shallow marine limestone environment.

Darellia politica is a member of the Stephanoceratoidea superfamily and is recognised by its finely ribbed shell, planispiral coiling, and relatively involute shape. The shell typically shows sharp, dense ribbing across the flanks, with a narrow venter. This species contributes to the understanding of ammonite faunal turnover during the early Bajocian.

Jurassic Information

The Jurassic Period (201–145 million years ago) was the golden age of dinosaurs, with iconic species like Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Allosaurus dominating the land. It was a time of warm, humid climates, with high sea levels that created vast shallow seas, supporting abundant marine reptiles, ammonites, and early coral reefs. The first birds, such as Archaeopteryx, evolved from small theropod dinosaurs, while early mammals remained small and nocturnal. Lush forests of cycads, conifers, and ferns covered the land, providing food for giant herbivores. The breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea accelerated, shaping Earth's geography and setting the stage for the diverse ecosystems of the Cretaceous.
