Original price was: £36.00.Current price is: £32.40.

A rare and eye-catching specimen of Pleuroceras spinatum, collected from the Upper Toarcian deposits of Eype, on the famous Jurassic Coast of Dorset, UK. This exceptional ammonite fossil was discovered on 19 July 2024 by our skilled fossil hunters Alister and Alison, and has been expertly cleaned, prepped, and treated by Alison.

Pleuroceras spinatum is renowned for its distinctive morphology, including a robust, disc-shaped shell with sharp radial ribs and prominent spines along the venter. This makes it one of the most easily recognised and sought-after ammonites from the Upper Toarcian stage of the Jurassic.

Fossil Type: Ammonite (extinct marine cephalopod)

Species: Pleuroceras spinatum

Geological Age: Lower Jurassic – Upper Toarcian Stage

  • Strong radial ribs and pronounced ventral spines
  • Wide umbilicus and keel-bearing venter

Notable:

  • Rare ammonite species with striking morphology

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.
