This is a fine example of a Tragophylloceras ammonite fossil, discovered in the Green Ammonite Beds of the Lower Lias Formation at Stonebarrow Cliff, Charmouth, part of the famous Jurassic Coast near Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. This ammonite was unearthed on 26 April 2025 by our trusted field experts Alister and Alison, and was professionally cleaned, prepared, and treated by Alison to preserve its natural form and fine detail.

Fossil Overview:

  • Species: Tragophylloceras sp.
  • Fossil Type: Ammonite
  • Formation: Lower Lias – Green Ammonite Beds
  • Location: Stonebarrow Cliff, Charmouth, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK
  • Date Discovered: 26 April 2025
  • Discovered By: Alister and Alison
  • Prepared By: Alison
  • Scale Reference: 1cm cube shown in photo
  • Authenticity: Certificate of Authenticity included
  • Specimen: The exact fossil shown is the one you will receive

Geological Context:

  • Geological Period: Early Jurassic
  • Stratigraphic Stage: Upper Sinemurian
  • Biozone: Arietites bucklandi – Oxynoticeras oxynotum zones (typical of Green Ammonite Beds)
  • Depositional Environment: Low-energy marine shelf environment with periodic oxygen-poor conditions, enabling exceptional fossil preservation

Scientific Classification:

  • Kingdom: Animalia
  • Phylum: Mollusca
  • Class: Cephalopoda
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Superfamily: Eoderoceratoidea
  • Family: Eoderoceratidae
  • Genus: Tragophylloceras
  • First Described By: Alpheus Hyatt, 1867

Morphology Features:

  • Smooth or faintly ribbed planispiral shell
  • Involute coiling with a narrow umbilicus
  • Characteristic keeled venter and streamlined profile
  • Known for being preserved in calcareous nodules within the Green Ammonite Beds

Significance:

Tragophylloceras is an important genus in Early Jurassic biostratigraphy, helping to date and correlate Sinemurian marine strata across Europe. The Green Ammonite Beds of Charmouth and Lyme Regis are particularly renowned for such ammonites, preserved in nodules or shale due to early mineralisation in anoxic conditions.

This piece is not just a fossil—it’s a direct link to the Early Jurassic seas over 190 million years ago, from a globally significant site along the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast.

Summary:

  • Species: Tragophylloceras sp.
  • Age: ~190–195 million years
  • Formation: Lower Lias
  • Stratigraphy: Green Ammonite Beds
  • Location: Stonebarrow Cliff, Charmouth, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK
  • Discovery Date: 26 April 2025
  • Certification: Included with purchase
  • Condition: Fully prepared and ready for display

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.
