RARE Bradfordia inclusa Fossil Ammonite

Species: Bradfordia inclusa

Geological Formation: Inferior Oolite

Period: Jurassic (Middle Jurassic, Bajocian stage)

Location: Burton Bradstock, Jurassic Coast, Dorset, UK

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. Ammonites, like Bradfordia inclusa, were marine mollusks closely related to modern-day squids and octopuses. 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.

This exceptional fossil ammonite was discovered by our dedicated fossil-hunting team members, Alister and Alison, on 17 January 2025. It has been expertly cleaned, prepped, and preserved by Alison, highlighting its fine detail and natural beauty.

Identification and Geological Context

Bradfordia inclusa is an ammonite, an extinct marine cephalopod group recognised for its coiled fossil shells. Ammonites lived in ancient seas and are among the most useful fossils for studying Jurassic marine environments and comparing rocks of similar geological age. The Inferior Oolite is a Jurassic rock succession in England, widely associated with marine sedimentary deposits and a rich fossil record.

The Jurassic Coast is internationally known for its exposed geological strata and fossil-bearing rocks. Its coastal sections provide important evidence of changing marine environments and the organisms that lived in them. A Bradfordia inclusa ammonite connected with the Inferior Oolite offers a distinctive link to this Jurassic geological history and makes a meaningful addition to a fossil collection.
