🦑 Fossil Overview:

This is a RARE and well-preserved Dactylioceras sp. Fossil Ammonite from the Lower Toarcian Stage of the Early Jurassic (~183 million years old), sourced from Skye, Scotland, United Kingdom. Dactylioceras is a genus of extinct ammonoid cephalopods, recognized for its distinctive ribbed, coiled shell and evolutionary significance in Jurassic marine ecosystems.

Dactylioceras ammonites are known for their radial ribs and relatively involute shell, making them some of the most aesthetically striking ammonites from the Toarcian period. This particular specimen showcases exceptional preservation, allowing for detailed study of its shell structure and growth lines.

This fossil originates from the Alice Purnell Collection, one of the largest and most renowned ammonite and cephalopod fossil 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: Dactylioceras sp.
  • Group: Ammonoid Cephalopod
  • Age: Jurassic (Early Jurassic, Lower Toarcian Stage, ~183 Million Years Ago)
  • Formation: Marine Deposits of Skye
  • Location: Skye, Scotland, United Kingdom
  • Shell Features: Strong radial ribs, coiled and chambered structure
  • Preservation: Excellent condition with visible fine details and natural fossilization patterns

Dactylioceras ammonites were active marine predators, using their coiled shells for buoyancy control. Their extinction at the end of the Toarcian provides valuable insight into Jurassic marine biodiversity and environmental shifts.

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.
