Description
Cenoceras Fossil Nautilus
This fossil specimen is identified as Cenoceras, a fossil nautilus from the Upper Toarcian of the Jurassic. It is associated with Ilminster, United Kingdom, and forms an appealing addition to collections focused on fossil cephalopods, Jurassic palaeontology and historically significant marine life.
Identification and Geological Context
Cenoceras is a fossil nautiloid, representing an extinct form within the long geological history of chambered cephalopods. Nautiloids are recognised for their coiled shells and chambered construction, with the shell providing an important record of marine life through geological time. The Upper Toarcian belongs to the Jurassic Period and represents a significant interval in the history of marine ecosystems. This identification makes the specimen especially interesting for collectors who appreciate fossil material connected with Jurassic faunas and the evolution of cephalopods.
The supplied identification is Cenoceras Fossil Nautilus, Upper Toarcian, Jurassic. The locality information supplied for this specimen is Ilminster, United Kingdom. These details provide useful geological and regional context for display, research, teaching collections and fossil appreciation.
