Original price was: £60.00.Current price is: £48.00.

This is a rare and well-preserved Cenoceras inornatum fossil nautilus from the Bajocian Stage of the Middle Jurassic (~170 million years ago). This specimen was discovered at Hurcott Road Cutting, Ilminster, Somerset, UK, a well-known site for Jurassic marine fossils.

Cenoceras inornatum is an extinct species of nautiloid cephalopods. Unlike ammonites, which feature complex suture patterns, nautiloids like Cenoceras have a simpler internal chambered shell structure. These marine predators used their gas-filled chambers for buoyancy, allowing them to move efficiently through Jurassic seas while preying on smaller marine organisms.

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.
