Fossil Nautilus Eutrephoceras | Bathonian Jurassic | Barreme France | Genuine Specimen w/ COA
£ 36.00
This listing features a rare and well-preserved fossil of Eutrephoceras, a genus
of extinct nautiloid cephalopods, from the Bathonian stage of the Middle Jurassic, found in Barreme, France—a locality noted for its fine marine sedimentary fossil beds.The fossil is a 100% genuine specimen, carefully selected for its completeness and scientific interest. You will receive the exact specimen shown in the photo, and a 1cm cube scale is included to provide accurate size context—please refer to the image for full dimensions. A Certificate of Authenticity is included with every purchase. GEOLOGICAL & SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION:
• Genus: Eutrephoceras
• Type: Fossil Nautilus (extinct nautiloid cephalopod)
• Age: Approx. 168–166 million years old
• Geological Period: Jurassic
• Stage: Bathonian (Middle Jurassic)
• Location Found: Barreme, France
• Order: Nautilida
• Superfamily: Nautilaceae
• Family: Nautilidae
• Morphological Features: Eutrephoceras is known for its involute, moderately compressed shell with a smooth or faintly ribbed surface. Sutures are gently sinuous, and the siphuncle is centrally positioned. The specimen often shows strong internal chamber divisions visible in polished or sectioned examples.
• Depositional Environment: Shallow marine shelf environment with fine-grained calcareous sedimentation. Ideal for preserving aragonitic shells in fine detail.
• Scientific Importance: While not as diverse as ammonites, nautiloids like Eutrephoceras help illustrate evolutionary trends in cephalopods and are important for understanding Middle Jurassic marine biodiversity. ADDITIONAL NOTES:Unlike their ammonite relatives, nautiloids had simpler suture patterns and different life habits. Eutrephoceras survived longer than many nautiloids, with relatives extending into the Cretaceous. This specimen offers a glimpse into their Jurassic ancestry.Why Buy From Us?
