£48.00
This listing features a beautifully sectioned fossil nautilus from the Jurassic Period, discovered in the United Kingdom. A true window into the marine ecosystems of the Mesozoic Era, this exceptional fossil reveals the inner chambers of a prehistoric cephalopod, preserved in fine detail.
Geological Details:
Location: United Kingdom
Period: Jurassic (~201.3 to ~145 million years ago)
Depositional Environment: Shallow marine shelf or carbonate platform—rich in cephalopods, ammonites, and other marine fauna
Preservation: Internal chambers preserved in detail through natural mineral infill, providing a striking display of the shell’s phragmocone
Paleontological Context: Nautiloids are shelled cephalopods related to modern nautilus species. Unlike ammonites, their suture lines are simple and their shells can be either straight or coiled. The sectioned specimen illustrates the gas-filled chambers used for buoyancy control.
Class: Cephalopoda
Subclass: Nautiloidea
Order: Nautilida
Family: Likely to fall within Cenoceratidae or related depending on precise morphology (not specified)
Biozone/Zone: Not specified due to general locality
Morphological Features:
Polished cut to reveal intricate internal septa and chamber partitions
Naturally mineralised in earthy and calcitic tones
Coiled planispiral form typical of Jurassic nautiloids
Diameter shown in image; reference cube = 1cm
Notable Characteristics:
Rare sectioned fossil with high aesthetic and scientific value
From the renowned fossil-bearing strata of Jurassic Britain
Ideal for collectors, educators, and natural history displays
Authenticity & Presentation:
100% genuine fossil, not a replica or reconstruction
Certificate of Authenticity included with every specimen
What you see is what you get — the exact specimen in the photo will be sent
Scale Cube = 1cm for accurate size reference in photos
All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

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.
