Geological & Scientific Details:

  • Fossil Type: Ammonite (extinct marine mollusc, related to squid and octopus).
  • Species: Ludwigia bradfordensis.
  • Order: Ammonitida.
  • Superfamily: Hammatoceratoidea.
  • Family: Graphoceratidae.
  • Geological Period: Jurassic.
  • Stage/Age: Aalenian (approx. 174 – 170 million years ago).
  • Locality: Uploders, Dorset, UK.

 

Notable Features & Morphology:

  • Shell Form: Involute to moderately involute with compressed whorls.
  • Ribs: Strong, well-defined ribs crossing the flanks and curving towards the venter.
  • Whorl Section: Narrow with a sub-rounded venter, typical of Ludwigia.
  • Size: A rare and well-preserved specimen at 4″, making it highly desirable.

 

Depositional Environment:

The Aalenian seas of Dorset were shallow marine shelf environments dominated by carbonate and marl deposition. These conditions allowed excellent preservation of ammonites and associated marine fauna within the Inferior Oolite and related formations.

 

Scientific & Collecting Importance:

Ludwigia bradfordensis is an important index fossil for the Aalenian, used in correlating strata across Europe. Its distinctive ribbing and shell form make it highly recognisable, adding both scientific and collector value.

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.
