Geological & Scientific Information:

  • Fossil Type: Ammonite
  • Genus: Bradfordia
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Superfamily: Stephanoceratoidea
  • Family: Sonniniidae (tentatively assigned, based on historical classifications)
  • Geological Stage: Bajocian (approx. 170.3 – 168.3 million years ago)
  • Biozone: Possibly associated with the Laeviuscula or Humphriesianum Zones, though rare and zone-specific data for Bradfordia are limited
  • Period: Jurassic
  • Locality: Beaminster, Dorset, England, UK
  • Depositional Environment: Marine shelf; low-energy conditions with fine calcareous mudstones typical of the Wessex Basin during the Middle Jurassic

 

Morphology & Notable Features:

  • Small to medium-sized ammonite with fine ribbing and rounded whorl section
  • Slightly evolute coiling with visible inner whorls
  • Ribbing may bifurcate or remain simple; venter usually rounded
  • Subtle features make this ammonite both delicate and scientifically interesting
  • Rarely found genus; specimens like this are hard to source from UK locations

 

Scientific Relevance: Bradfordia is a lesser-known and rare ammonite genus from the Bajocian, primarily found in the southern UK. Though infrequently documented, it contributes to the understanding of ammonite diversity and paleoecology during the Jurassic. Its rarity and subtle morphology make it a prized addition to specialist collections.

Original descriptions of Bradfordia trace back to 19th-century British monographs, often tied to regional studies of Dorset and surrounding areas.

 

Ideal For:

  • Serious ammonite collectors
  • Academic and reference collections
  • Display in educational or natural history settings

 

What You Will Receive:

  • The exact Bradfordia fossil shown in the photos
  • Certificate of Authenticity
  • Secure, protective packaging for safe delivery

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.
