This listing is for a Rare Fossil Ammonite (Reynesella piodes) from the Middle Bajocian Stage of the Middle Jurassic, discovered in Dorset, United Kingdom.

100% Genuine Fossil Specimen – All of our fossils are authentic and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Exact Specimen Shown – The photos provided are of the actual fossil you will receive.

Scale for Reference – Scale rule squares/cube = 1cm. Please see photos for full sizing.

 

Geological & Scientific Details:

  • Fossil Type: Ammonite (extinct marine mollusc, related to squid and octopus).
  • Species: Reynesella piodes.
  • Order: Ammonitida.
  • Superfamily: Stephanoceratoidea.
  • Family: Stephanoceratidae.
  • Geological Period: Jurassic.
  • Stage/Age: Middle Bajocian (approx. 170 – 168 million years ago).
  • Locality: Dorset, UK.

 

Notable Features & Morphology:

  • Shell Form: Involute shell with robust ornamentation.
  • Ribs: Bold, bifurcating ribs across the flanks, typical of Reynesella.
  • Whorl Section: Sub-rounded to slightly compressed, enhancing its striking appearance.
  • Size: A rare and well-preserved specimen, making it an excellent display fossil.

 

Depositional Environment:

During the Bajocian, Dorset was covered by shallow epicontinental seas with carbonate sedimentation. These seas preserved ammonites and other marine fauna in limestone and marl, allowing excellent fossil preservation.

 

Scientific & Collecting Importance:

Reynesella piodes is an important ammonite species for biostratigraphic correlation in the Bajocian. Its diagnostic ribbing and shell morphology make it a valuable index fossil and a desirable collector’s piece.

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.
