Description
This listing features a beautiful and scientifically significant ammonite fossil of Emileia bulligera, collected from the Inferior Oolite Formation at Burton Bradstock on the Jurassic Coast, Dorset, UK. The Inferior Oolite represents sedimentary marine limestone beds deposited during the Middle Jurassic in a warm, shallow sea environment.
Emileia bulligera is a member of the Stephanoceratoidea superfamily and is characterised by its robust, inflated shell and widely spaced primary ribs that bifurcate or trifurcate on the flanks. The shell morphology displays a moderately involute form with a deep umbilicus and strong ornamentation, making it highly desirable among collectors and paleontologists.
