STRIGOCERAS strigifer Ammonite Fossil – Bajocian Stage, Middle Jurassic, Dundry Hill, Bristol, United Kingdom

This beautifully preserved specimen of Strigoceras strigifer is an authentic ammonite fossil from the Bajocian stage of the Middle Jurassic, approximately 170 to 168 million years ago. Discovered on the historically important Dundry Hill near Bristol, England, this piece represents one of the key cephalopod faunas of the British Jurassic coast.

Fossil Type & Species:

  • Type: Invertebrate Fossil (Ammonite Shell)
  • Species: Strigoceras strigifer
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Superfamily: Stephanoceratoidea
  • Family: Strigoceratidae
  • Described by: Oppel, 1857

Geological & Stratigraphic Details:

  • Location: Dundry Hill, near Bristol, South West England, UK
  • Formation: Inferior Oolite Group
  • Geological Stage: Bajocian, Middle Jurassic
  • Age: ~170–168 million years ago
  • Biozone: Parkinsoni Zone (Middle to Late Bajocian ammonite zone)
  • Depositional Environment: Shallow epicontinental marine platform with carbonate sedimentation and high fossil diversity

Morphology & Features: The Strigoceras strigifer fossil exhibits:

  • Involute coiling with narrow whorls and deeply impressed sutures
  • Sharp ribbing that bifurcates from the inner whorls to the outer flank
  • Pronounced keel or venter, which aids in species identification

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.
