🧬 Fossil & Geological Details:
- Fossil Type: Ammonite
- Genus: Geyerina
- Species: Geyerina fasciata
- Order: Ammonitida
- Superfamily: Hammatoceratoidea
- Family: Hammatoceratidae
- Geological Period: Jurassic
- Geological Stage: Aalenian (Middle Jurassic)
- Age: ~174 to 170 million years ago
- Location: Port Mulgrave, North Yorkshire, UK
- Formation: Possibly part of the Lower Oolite or Whitby Mudstone succession (depending on exact bed)
- Depositional Environment: Marine, offshore shelf—likely low-energy, muddy sea floor conditions
🌀 Morphology & Features:
Geyerina fasciata is identifiable by:
- Strongly ribbed, involute shell
- Deep constrictions between ribs
- Pronounced keels, often with tubercles or nodes
- Compressed whorl section
- Ribbing often becomes more fasciculate (bundled) toward the venter, giving the species its name
- Excellent for study in ammonite evolutionary development across Aalenian biozones
Its distinctive morphology makes it a useful zonal indicator for the Aalenian and helps in biostratigraphic correlation across northwest Europe.
🔬 Scientific & Collector Importance:
Geyerina fasciata was originally described in the 19th century and remains a key taxon for understanding ammonite faunal turnover during the Aalenian. Specimens from Port Mulgrave are often well-preserved and are of interest to:
- Ammonite collectors
- Stratigraphers
- Palaeontology educators
- Museums & research institutions
