This listing features a rare and well-preserved 5-inch fossil ammonite, Gleviceras victoris, from the Lower Pliensbachian Stage of the Early Jurassic Period, discovered in Radstock Grove Quarry, Radstock, Somerset, United Kingdom. The photo shows the exact fossil specimen you will receive. Each cube in the scale image equals 1cm — please refer to the photo for full sizing.

This fossil is a carefully selected specimen, ideal for collectors, scientific study, or educational display.

All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Geological & Scientific Information:

  • Fossil Type: Ammonite
  • Species: Gleviceras victoris
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Superfamily: Psiloceratoidea
  • Family: Oxynoticeratidae
  • Geological Stage: Lower Pliensbachian (~190.8 – 182.7 million years ago)
  • Biozone: Davoei Zone
  • Formation: Lower Lias Formation
  • Locality: Radstock Grove Quarry, Radstock, Somerset, England, UK
  • Depositional Environment: Low-energy marine shelf; fine calcareous mudstones and dark shales typical of the Early Jurassic Lias Group

Morphology & Notable Features:

  • Involute, highly compressed shell with very narrow umbilicus
  • Smooth flanks or very fine ribbing depending on preservation
  • Venter typically sharp or keeled
  • Sleek, hydrodynamic shell adapted to deeper marine life
  • Finely preserved suture lines may be visible in higher-grade specimens

Scientific Significance:

Gleviceras victoris is a significant ammonite species used to correlate Lower Pliensbachian marine sediments, especially in the Davoei Biozone. It represents a streamlined evolutionary path within the Oxynoticeratidae, adapted to open marine settings.

It appears frequently in British Lower Lias fossil studies and contributes important data on Early Jurassic ammonite radiation following the end-Sinemurian faunal turnovers.

Ideal For:

  • Ammonite and fossil collectors
  • University geology departments or museums
  • Educational fossil displays
  • Stratigraphic research collections

What You Will Receive:

  • The exact Gleviceras victoris fossil shown

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.
