Very rare cenoceras inornatum fossil nautilus – oxfordian, jurassic, france – coa
£ 48.00
This is a very rare and well-preserved Cenoceras inornatum fossil nautilus,
dating back to the Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic (~160 million years ago), discovered in France.Cenoceras inornatum is an extinct species of nautiloid cephalopod, closely related to modern nautiluses. Unlike ammonites, nautiloids have a smooth, coiled shell with distinct internal chambers used for buoyancy control. This species thrived in warm Jurassic seas, preying on smaller marine organisms and playing a crucial role in the ancient marine ecosystem.This fossil is a remarkable example of Jurassic nautiloids, offering insight into early cephalopod evolution. Nautiloids are far less common than ammonites, making this a highly desirable specimen for collectors, museums, and research purposes. GEOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
