For sale is a beautifully preserved fossil of PSEUDOLIOCERAS boulbiense, a finely ribbed ammonite species from the Upper Pliensbachian Stage of the Early Jurassic, collected near Whitby, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom. This classic ammonite is a superb representation of British Jurassic marine life.

Fossil Type & Species:

  • Type: Ammonite (Extinct Marine Cephalopod)
  • Species: Pseudolioceras boulbiense
  • Known for its graceful, tightly coiled shell with sharp ribbing and compressed profile

Geological Context:

  • Whorls are tightly coiled with a small to moderate umbilicus
  • Typically mineralised in grey calcite or iron oxide due to Yorkshire shale preservation

Scientific Importance:

  • Pseudolioceras boulbiense is a zonal fossil used in biostratigraphic frameworks for the Upper Pliensbachian
  • Helps refine ammonite-based correlation across Lower Jurassic marine sequences in northern Europe
  • Demonstrates diversity and adaptation of cephalopods during Jurassic sea level and climatic changes

Locality Information:

  • Whitby, North Yorkshire, UK – part of the world-famous Jurassic Coast of Yorkshire, known for yielding exceptional ammonites, marine reptiles, and invertebrates from the Early Jurassic

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.
