This listing is for a Rare 4″ Fossil Ammonite (Bradfordia (Ambylyoxyites) amblys) from the Lower Bajocian Stage of the Middle Jurassic, discovered at Burton Bradstock, Dorset, United Kingdom.

100% Genuine Fossil Specimen – All of our fossils are authentic and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Exact Specimen Shown – The photos provided are of the actual fossil you will receive.

Scale for Reference – Scale rule squares/cube = 1cm. Please see photos for full sizing.

 

Geological & Scientific Details:

  • Fossil Type: Ammonite (extinct marine mollusc, related to squid and octopus).
  • Species: Bradfordia (Ambylyoxyites) amblys.
  • Order: Ammonitida.
  • Superfamily: Stephanoceratoidea.
  • Family: Stephanoceratidae.
  • Geological Period: Jurassic.
  • Stage/Age: Lower Bajocian (approx. 170 – 168 million years ago).
  • Locality: Burton Bradstock, Dorset, UK.

 

Notable Features & Morphology:

  • Shell Form: Involute to moderately involute with strong ribbing.
  • Ribs: Prominent ribs extend across the whorls, sometimes branching towards the venter.
  • Whorl Section: Typically compressed with a rounded venter.
  • Size: A rare and sizeable specimen at 4″, making it a fine display fossil.

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.
