This listing is for a rare and beautifully preserved fossil ammonite, Graphoceras glevense, from the Bajocian Stage of the Jurassic Period, found in Broadwindsor, Dorset, United Kingdom. The photos show the exact specimen you will receive. Each scale cube is 1cm, so please refer to the image for full sizing.

This is a carefully selected specimen, ideal for collectors, educational displays, or scientific reference.

All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

 

Geological & Scientific Details:

  • Fossil Type: Ammonite
  • Species: Graphoceras glevense
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Superfamily: Hildoceratoidea
  • Family: Graphoceratidae
  • Geological Stage: Bajocian (approx. 170.3 – 168.3 million years ago)
  • Biozone: Likely within the Humphriesianum or Parkinsoni Zones based on regional stratigraphy
  • Period: Jurassic
  • Locality: Broadwindsor, Dorset, England, UK
  • Depositional Environment: Marine shelf environment within the Wessex Basin — fine-grained calcareous muds and marls deposited under low-energy conditions

 

Morphology & Notable Features:

  • Involute, compressed shell with strong, dense ribbing
  • Ribs typically bifurcate from the umbilical edge and continue across the flanks
  • Narrow venter with occasional keel present
  • Shell shape is discoidal, often with sharp detail in well-preserved specimens
  • Ribbing and morphology make this ammonite ideal for identification and stratigraphic placement

 

Scientific Importance: Graphoceras glevense is a key ammonite species for Bajocian biostratigraphy, aiding in the identification of marine zones within the Middle Jurassic of Europe. It is particularly significant in British and Anglo-Paris Basin stratigraphic studies.

The species was originally described in early Jurassic ammonite monographs and remains a valuable index fossil for correlating Bajocian deposits.

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.
