Bradfordia inclusa is a sought-after ammonite species from the Bajocian stage of the Middle Jurassic period, approximately 170 million years old. The Inferior Oolite formation, from which this exceptional specimen originates, is renowned for yielding diverse and beautifully preserved fossils, making it one of the most famous geological locations on the world-renowned Jurassic Coast of Dorset.
Bradfordia inclusa is noted for its distinctively ribbed and tightly coiled shell, making it a visually appealing and scientifically significant specimen.

They lived in ancient oceans and became extinct approximately 66 million years ago, leaving their beautifully preserved shells to provide vital insights into ancient marine ecosystems and Jurassic biodiversity.
