About Nodicoeloceras spicatum

Nodicoeloceras is a genus of ammonites from the Early Jurassic period, specifically within the Toarcian Stage. This species is characterized by its strongly ribbed, finely detailed shell with a compressed whorl section, making it a distinct and collectible ammonite.

The Whitby Mudstone Formation is one of the most fossiliferous regions in the UK, famous for its stunning ammonites, ichthyosaurs, and belemnites. The Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (TOAE) during this time created ideal conditions for fossil preservation, leading to highly detailed and beautifully preserved specimens such as this one.
