RARE PSEUDOLIOCERAS sp Fossil Ammonite – Upper Toarcian, Early Jurassic: Belmont, Rhône, France – Alice Purnell Collection

£24.00

An uncommon and beautifully preserved fossil ammonite of the genus Pseudolioceras, originating from the Upper Toarcian Stage of the Early Jurassic, discovered in Belmont, Rhône, France. This specimen is part of the esteemed Alice Purnell Collection, known for its scientifically curated and historically significant fossils.

Pseudolioceras is a genus of evolute, finely ribbed ammonites within the family Dactylioceratidae. These ammonites are characterised by their moderately flattened whorls, distinct ribbing, and relatively broad umbilicus, making them highly recognisable and stratigraphically useful in Jurassic palaeontology.

Geological & Scientific Details:

  • Scientific Name: Pseudolioceras sp.
  • Fossil Type: Ammonite
  • Geological Period: Early Jurassic
  • Geological Stage: Upper Toarcian (~179–174 million years ago)
  • Location Found: Belmont, Rhône, France
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Superfamily: Eodactylioceratoidea
  • Family: Dactylioceratidae
  • Morphological Features: Evolute shell with wide umbilicus, dense regular ribbing, discoidal form
  • Depositional Environment: Marine shelf environment, typical of silty to clay-rich sea floor sediments
  • Biozone Significance: Useful for zonal correlation within the Upper Toarcian sequence in European Jurassic strata

This is an excellent and rare ammonite specimen, ideal for collectors, educators, or anyone with an interest in Mesozoic marine life.

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

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.
