Species: Nucleolites clunicularis
Type: Fossil Echinoid (Sea Urchin)
Order: Cassiduloida
Family: Nucleolitidae
Phylum: Echinodermata
Geological & Stratigraphic Context:
Geological Period: Jurassic
Stage: Bajocian (Middle Jurassic, ~170 million years ago)
Formation: Inferior Oolite
Depositional Environment: Shallow, warm marine shelf with carbonate sedimentation typical of oolitic limestones
Locality: United Kingdom
Morphology Features:

Notable Facts:
Nucleolites clunicularis is a classic echinoid from British Jurassic strata, frequently found in oolitic limestones.
These echinoids are valuable biostratigraphic markers within the Bajocian of the UK.
Their preservation within the Inferior Oolite reflects a relatively calm depositional environment with abundant carbonate ooids.

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.
