Original price was: £36.00.Current price is: £28.80.

For sale is an authentic Ochetoceras hispidum ammonite fossil from the Middle Oxfordian stage of the Jurassic Period, discovered in Charente, France. This well-preserved ammonite exhibits its distinct ribbed and coiled shell morphology, a hallmark of the Ochetoceras genus, making it a valuable and scientifically significant specimen for fossil collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Geology & Fossil Type:

This ammonite originates from the Middle Oxfordian, a stage of the Upper Jurassic, approximately 160 million years ago. During this period, Europe was covered by warm, shallow seas, providing an ideal environment for ammonites to thrive. Fossils from the Oxfordian stage are particularly important for biostratigraphic dating, allowing geologists to correlate rock layers across different regions.

Ochetoceras hispidum belonged to the subclass Ammonoidea, an extinct group of marine mollusks closely related to modern squids and octopuses. These creatures used their chambered shells for buoyancy control, enabling them to move efficiently through prehistoric oceans. The strongly ribbed shell structure of Ochetoceras suggests it was well-adapted for life in dynamic marine environments.

Fossil Details:

  • 100% Genuine Fossil – No Replicas or Synthetics
  • Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity
  • From the Alice Purnell Collection, a highly regarded fossil collection
  • Scale cube = 1cm for size reference (please see photos for full dimensions)

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.
