PROTOGRAMMOCERAS Fossil Ammonite Block with Belemnite – Toarcian, Jurassic – Switzerland – Certified Authentic – Alice Purnell Collection

£48.00

A scientifically valuable and visually striking Protocrammoceras fossil ammonite block featuring an accompanying Belemnite, originating from the Toarcian Stage of the Lower Jurassic. This rare specimen hails from Switzerland and is part of the exclusive Alice Purnell Collection. It represents a superb window into Early Jurassic marine life, preserved in a single matrix.

The exact fossil you see in the photo is the one you will receive. Scale Rule Squares / Cube = 1cm. Please refer to the listing image for full sizing and scale.

Geological & Scientific Details:

  • Fossil Type: Ammonite and Belemnite (Extinct Marine Cephalopods)
  • Species: Protocrammoceras (with associated Belemnite guard)
  • Geological Age: Toarcian Stage, Lower Jurassic (~182 to 174 million years ago)
  • Location: Switzerland
  • Morphology Features: The Protocrammoceras ammonite displays moderately involute coiling with bifurcating ribs and finely ornamented whorls, typical of its genus. The belemnite shows a classic guard structure, slightly tapered, suggesting a predatory nektonic lifestyle.
  • Family: Dactylioceratidae (ammonite)
  • Superfamily: Eoderoceratoidea
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Depositional Environment: Marine shelf setting with calm to moderately agitated water conditions. The presence of both ammonite and belemnite remains suggests a productive, biodiverse ecosystem with good preservation potential.
  • Geological Stage: Early Jurassic, Toarcian
  • Notable: This combination block is scientifically significant, revealing two prominent marine organisms from the same depositional context. Such associations are rare and valuable for paleoecological reconstructions.

This piece is perfect for fossil collectors, educators, or enthusiasts seeking authentic Early Jurassic specimens with excellent preservation and provenance.

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.
