Geological Information:
Geological Stage: Jurassic (Approximately 201 to 145 million years ago)
Depositional Environment: The Jurassic Period was marked by widespread shallow marine environments across much of Europe. The Banbury region was once covered by a shallow sea where brachiopods like Tetrarhynchia thrived. These brachiopods were filter feeders, living on the seafloor and playing an important role in the marine food web. The fossil was formed as a result of the accumulation of sediment in these ancient seas.
Biozone: This specimen comes from a Jurassic marine biozone, which was abundant in marine life, particularly brachiopods and other bivalves.
Fossil Features:
Family: Terebratulidae
Super Family: Terebratuloidea
Order: Terebratulida
Morphology: The Tetrarhynchia tetrahedra brachiopod has biconvex shells with distinct ridges and well-defined ribbing. The shell features a triangular appearance and is usually marked by prominent folds that give it a unique, tetrahedral shape. This type of shell structure is ideal for stability on the seafloor in ancient marine environments.

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.
