Fossil Nautilus Eutrephoceras | Bathonian Jurassic | Barreme France | Genuine Specimen w/ COA

£36.00

This listing features a rare and well-preserved fossil of Eutrephoceras, a genus of extinct nautiloid cephalopods, from the Bathonian stage of the Middle Jurassic, found in Barreme, France—a locality noted for its fine marine sedimentary fossil beds.

The fossil is a 100% genuine specimen, carefully selected for its completeness and scientific interest. You will receive the exact specimen shown in the photo, and a 1cm cube scale is included to provide accurate size context—please refer to the image for full dimensions. A Certificate of Authenticity is included with every purchase.

Geological & Scientific Information:

  • Genus: Eutrephoceras
  • Type: Fossil Nautilus (extinct nautiloid cephalopod)
  • Age: Approx. 168–166 million years old
  • Geological Period: Jurassic
  • Stage: Bathonian (Middle Jurassic)
  • Location Found: Barreme, France
  • Order: Nautilida
  • Superfamily: Nautilaceae
  • Family: Nautilidae
  • Morphological Features: Eutrephoceras is known for its involute, moderately compressed shell with a smooth or faintly ribbed surface. Sutures are gently sinuous, and the siphuncle is centrally positioned. The specimen often shows strong internal chamber divisions visible in polished or sectioned examples.
  • Depositional Environment: Shallow marine shelf environment with fine-grained calcareous sedimentation. Ideal for preserving aragonitic shells in fine detail.
  • Scientific Importance: While not as diverse as ammonites, nautiloids like Eutrephoceras help illustrate evolutionary trends in cephalopods and are important for understanding Middle Jurassic marine biodiversity.

Additional Notes:

Unlike their ammonite relatives, nautiloids had simpler suture patterns and different life habits. Eutrephoceras survived longer than many nautiloids, with relatives extending into the Cretaceous. This specimen offers a glimpse into their Jurassic ancestry.

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.
