£36.00
This Pleuroceras hawskerense fossil ammonite is a striking specimen from the Upper Pliensbachian Stage of the Jurassic Period, discovered in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. Pleuroceras hawskerense is an ammonite species known for its distinctive coiled shell and well-preserved suture lines. The fossil was preserved in sedimentary rock, making it an excellent example of marine life during the Jurassic period.
Geological Information:
Geological Stage: Upper Pliensbachian, Jurassic (Approximately 183 to 174 million years ago)
Depositional Environment: During the Upper Pliensbachian period, shallow seas covered much of what is now the United Kingdom, including the Gloucestershire region. These seas provided an ideal environment for ammonites and other marine organisms. The Pleuroceras hawskerense ammonite thrived in these warm, nutrient-rich waters, and was preserved in sedimentary rock deposits, which formed from the accumulation of marine life and their remains over millions of years.
Biozone: This fossil comes from the Upper Pliensbachian biozone, a period marked by the flourishing of ammonites and other marine invertebrates. The Pliensbachian biozone is significant for its abundance of ammonite species and its role in understanding Jurassic marine ecosystems.
Fossil Features:
Family: Ammonitidae
Super Family: Ammonoidea
Order: Ammonitida
Morphology: The Pleuroceras hawskerense ammonite features a distinctively ribbed and coiled shell with tight whorls. The shell is evolute, with smooth whorls and clear suture lines, which are clearly visible. The ribs on the shell are prominent and add texture to the ammonite’s appearance. This species is known for its well-preserved details, making it a valuable specimen for collectors and fossil enthusiasts.

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.
