Geological & Scientific Information:

  • Species: Oedania falcifera
  • Type: Fossil Ammonite (extinct marine cephalopod)
  • Size: Approx. 11 inches (see photo)
  • Age: Approx. 170 million years old
  • Geological Period: Jurassic
  • Stage: Middle Bajocian
  • Location Found: Gloucestershire, England, UK
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Superfamily: Stephanoceratoidea
  • Family: Otoitidae
  • Morphological Features: Oedania falcifera displays a strongly evolute shell with falcate (sickle-shaped) ribs, characteristic of the genus. The whorls are broad and the ornamentation is pronounced, with sharp ribbing extending across the flanks.
  • Depositional Environment: Shallow epicontinental sea with calcareous mud and marl deposition, typical of the Jurassic of the Cotswolds and surrounding regions. Fossils from this region are often excellently preserved due to stable, low-energy marine conditions.
  • Scientific Importance: Oedania is a valuable genus for regional biostratigraphy within the Bajocian. Specimens such as this one help define ammonite zones and aid in the correlation of strata across northwest Europe.

Additional Notes:

Large ammonite fossils like this are rarely found with such complete preservation. The species is prized for its aesthetic ribbing and size, making it a highlight in any collection. Whether for educational, research, or display purposes, this ammonite is a remarkable relic from England’s Jurassic seas.

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.
