Graphoceras decorum Fossil Ammonite – Concavum Zone, Bajocian, Jurassic: Bradford Abbas, Dorset, UK – Alice Purnell Collection – COA

£48.00

Offered for sale is a beautifully preserved fossil ammonite specimen of Graphoceras decorum, collected from the Concavum Zone of the Bajocian Stage (Middle Jurassic) at Bradford Abbas, Dorset, United Kingdom.

Graphoceras is a genus of extinct ammonites in the subclass Ammonoidea, known for their distinct ribbing, compressed whorls, and involute shell coiling. These cephalopods thrived during the Middle Jurassic around 170 million years ago, inhabiting shallow marine environments. They are key biostratigraphic markers for dating and correlating layers of Jurassic rock.

This exceptional fossil originates from the Concavum Zone, a stratigraphically significant unit within the Bajocian. The rocks here are part of the classic fossil-rich sequences of Southern England, offering insight into the rich biodiversity of ancient Jurassic seas.

This piece is part of the prestigious Alice Purnell Collection, known for its high-quality fossil specimens curated for both scientific value and aesthetic presentation. It has been meticulously prepared to highlight the intricate shell detail and is an outstanding example of this uncommon species.

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.
