Trace Fossil Borings – London Clay Formation, Eocene – Ella Nore Beach, UK

100% Genuine Fossil with Certificate of Authenticity

We are excited to offer this exceptional trace fossil boring, discovered along Ella Nore Beach, part of the London Clay Formation in the Eocene Epoch (~56-34 million years ago). These trace fossil borings represent the activity of ancient organisms that bored into the sediment, leaving behind characteristic marks in the substrate. The London Clay is a well-known geological formation that preserves numerous trace fossils, providing valuable insights into ancient marine environments.

Geological and Fossil Information:

  • Fossil Type: Trace Fossil Borings
  • Species: Not applicable (trace fossil genus)
  • Morphology Features: These fossil borings are cylindrical and irregular, created by ancient organisms, likely marine invertebrates such as bivalves or annelids. The burrows exhibit patterns that reflect the burrowing behavior of these organisms and show how they interacted with the sediment.
  • Geological Stage: Eocene (~56-34 million years ago)
  • Depositional Environment: The burrows were formed in a shallow marine environment, typical of the conditions during the Eocene Epoch. The London Clay Formation represents a period when marine invertebrates were abundant, and the burrowing activity preserved in the fossilized sediments offers a glimpse into ancient marine life.
  • Biozone: The specimen is from the Eocene biozone, which reflects the diversity of marine organisms during the Early Tertiary period.
  • Family: Not applicable (trace fossils)
  • Super Family: Not applicable (trace fossils)
  • Order: Trace Fossils (Ichnology)
  • Formally Identified By: This fossil has been formally identified by paleontologists based on its morphological features and the geological context of its discovery along Ella Nore Beach, part of the London Clay Formation, UK.

Size and Visuals:

The fossil measures approximately as shown in the attached photo. A scale rule (1cm squares) is included for accurate size reference. The photo shown is of the actual specimen you will receive, carefully chosen to highlight its exceptional preservation and intricate features.

Authenticity and Certification:

All of our fossils are 100% genuine specimens and come with a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring the provenance and authenticity of the fossil. This trace fossil boring from the London Clay Formation provides a fascinating glimpse into the behavior of ancient marine life during the Eocene, making it a valuable addition to any fossil collection.

Eocene Information

The Eocene Period (56–33.9 million years ago) was a time of warm global temperatures and the rapid evolution of mammals following the extinction of the dinosaurs. The climate was hot and humid, with lush rainforests covering much of the planet, even near the poles. Mammals diversified into new ecological roles, with early primates, whales (like Basilosaurus), large herbivores, and carnivores emerging. Birds and reptiles also thrived, and the first grasses began spreading, setting the stage for later grassland ecosystems. By the late Eocene, the Earth’s climate cooled significantly, leading to the formation of the first Antarctic ice sheets and the eventual transition to the drier, cooler Oligocene Period.
