GEOLOGICAL & SCIENTIFIC DETAILS:


• Fossil Type: Ammonite (extinct marine mollusc, related to squid and octopus).
• Species: Geyerina fasciata.
• Order: Ammonitida.
• Superfamily: Stephanoceratoidea.
• Family: Stephanoceratidae.
• Geological Period: Jurassic.
• Stage/Age: Bajocian (approx. 170 – 168 million years ago).

• Size: A rare, well-preserved specimen, highly desirable for collectors.

DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENT:

During the Bajocian, the Calvados region was part of a shallow marine environment with carbonate-rich sediments. The limestone and marl deposits preserved ammonites in exceptional detail, making them important for palaeontological study.

SCIENTIFIC & COLLECTING IMPORTANCE:

Geyerina fasciata is an important ammonite species for biostratigraphic correlation in the Bajocian. Its diagnostic ribbing and shell form make it valuable both for identifying Jurassic strata and as a collector’s piece.
