🦑 Fossil Overview:

This is a RARE and well-preserved Cenoceras inornatum Fossil Nautilus from the Bajocian Stage of the Middle Jurassic (~170 million years old), sourced from Caen, France. Cenoceras is a genus of extinct nautiloids that thrived in Jurassic seas, known for its beautifully coiled and smooth shell. Unlike ammonites, which have intricate suture patterns, Cenoceras exhibits a simpler, chambered structure typical of nautiloids, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

This particular specimen originates from the Alice Purnell Collection, one of the largest and most renowned ammonite collections in the world. Fossils from this collection are highly sought after, ensuring this piece holds both scientific and historical significance.

 

🪨 Geological & Scientific Details:

• Species: Cenoceras inornatum
• Group: Nautiloid Cephalopod
• Age: Jurassic (Middle Jurassic, Bajocian Stage, ~170 Million Years Ago)
• Formation: Bathonian Limestone Deposits of Normandy
• Location: Caen, France
• Shell Features: Gently coiled, smooth, and chambered with faint growth lines
• Preservation: Well-defined structure, with excellent surface detail

Cenoceras were early nautiloids that lived in shallow marine environments, using their chambers for buoyancy control. Unlike ammonites, they had a more direct lineage to modern-day Nautilus species, making them a crucial link in the evolutionary history of cephalopods.
