Pseudolioceras lythense Fossil Ammonite Jurassic Whitby UK | Genuine Upper Pliensbachian Yorkshire Ammonite

£18.00

This listing is for a 100% genuine Pseudolioceras lythense ammonite fossil from the Upper Pliensbachian stage of the Jurassic Period, collected from the famous fossil-rich coastal area of Whitby, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The specimen in the photos is the actual item you will receive, carefully selected for its preservation and scientific relevance.

Geological & Palaeontological Details:

  • Species: Pseudolioceras lythense
  • Fossil Type: Ammonite (Extinct marine cephalopod)
  • Family: Dactylioceratidae
  • Superfamily: Eodactylioceratoidea
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Geological Period: Jurassic
  • Stage: Upper Pliensbachian (approx. 189–183 million years ago)
  • Location: Whitby, Yorkshire, UK
  • Stratigraphy/Biozone: Most commonly associated with the Lythense Subzone of the Spinatum Zone, a noted ammonite biozone within the Upper Pliensbachian.
  • Depositional Environment: Shallow marine shelf environment, part of the Cleveland Basin, where fine-grained, fossil-rich shales and mudstones accumulated under relatively low-energy conditions.

Morphology & Features:

  • Typically exhibits a small to medium size with involute coiling
  • Ribbing is fine and radiates from the umbilicus, with slight tubercles or nodes present in some specimens
  • The shell is often laterally compressed, which contributes to its streamlined appearance
  • Preserved in fine-grained sediment that often enhances surface detail

Notability: Pseudolioceras lythense is a biostratigraphically significant ammonite, often used as an index fossil to date Upper Pliensbachian strata in Europe. Its presence in Whitby highlights the rich Jurassic heritage of the region, known for producing exquisitely preserved marine fossils.

Additional Details:

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.
