Genuine Quenstedtoceras Ammonite – Classic Oxford Clay Jurassic Fossil from Dorset

Offered here is an excellent Quenstedtoceras ammonite fossil, preserved within the famous Oxford Clay Formation of the Jurassic Period, collected from Tidmoor Point, Dorset, United Kingdom. Ammonites from the Oxford Clay are highly sought after for their scientific significance, distinctive shell forms, and connection to one of Britain’s most famous marine fossil deposits.

This is a carefully chosen specimen, selected for its strong preservation, clear ammonite detail, and outstanding display potential. The photographs show the exact fossil you will receive, with full sizing clearly visible in the provided images.

Every fossil we offer is a genuine specimen, and this ammonite includes a Certificate of Authenticity with lifetime guarantee, supplied as a generic authenticity card for permanent documentation and complete buyer confidence.

Geological Setting – Oxford Clay Formation, Jurassic Seas

This fossil originates from the renowned Oxford Clay Formation, dating to the Middle–Late Jurassic, approximately 160 million years ago. During this time, much of southern Britain was submerged beneath a warm, shallow epicontinental sea. These Jurassic oceans supported abundant marine life including ammonites, belemnites, fish, marine reptiles, and diverse invertebrate communities.

The Oxford Clay is famous for its fine-grained mudstone deposits, laid down in low-energy offshore conditions. These sediments created ideal circumstances for fossil preservation, often capturing shells and skeletal remains with exceptional clarity.

Tidmoor Point, located along the Dorset coastline, is a classic fossil site associated with Oxford Clay exposures and remains an important locality for collectors and researchers alike.

Fossil Species – Quenstedtoceras Ammonite

Quenstedtoceras is a distinctive genus of Jurassic ammonite belonging to the extinct subclass Ammonoidea, within the class Cephalopoda. Ammonites were marine molluscs related to modern squid and cuttlefish and were among the most diverse and successful predators of the Mesozoic seas.

Quenstedtoceras is especially recognised for its strong ribbing, robust whorl shape, and characteristic shell ornamentation. These ammonites are important index fossils, widely used by geologists to date and correlate Jurassic rock layers across Europe.

As an Oxford Clay ammonite, Quenstedtoceras represents a thriving marine ecosystem during a key time in Jurassic evolutionary history. Its fossils provide valuable insight into biodiversity, paleoecology, and the changing seas of the Jurassic world.

Fossil Features and Display Appeal

This specimen preserves the natural coiled shell structure and surface detail typical of Quenstedtoceras. The ribbing and spiral geometry remain clearly visible, making it an excellent collector fossil and an attractive display piece.

Oxford Clay ammonites are particularly prized for their bold forms and strong preservation, and Dorset specimens carry additional significance due to Britain’s rich fossil heritage.

This fossil is ideal for cabinets, desks, educational collections, or as a centrepiece for any Jurassic enthusiast.

Authenticity and Collector Confidence

This is a 100% genuine Quenstedtoceras ammonite fossil, responsibly sourced from Tidmoor Point, Dorset.

It includes a lifetime Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring complete confidence in provenance and genuineness.

Ideal For Collectors, Gifts and Educational Displays

This fossil is perfect for:

  • Ammonite and Jurassic fossil collectors
  • Oxford Clay and Dorset fossil enthusiasts
  • Natural history and museum-style displays
  • Educational geology and paleontology specimens
  • Unique prehistoric gifts from the Jurassic seas

A wonderful opportunity to own an authentic Quenstedtoceras ammonite from the famous Oxford Clay of Tidmoor Point, Dorset, preserved from an ancient Jurassic sea around 160 million years ago and accompanied by a lifetime 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.
