RARE Spiroceras bifurcati Heteromorph Ammonite & Cenoceras inornatum Nautilus Fossils Jurassic Dorset COA
A truly exceptional and rare paired fossil specimen, this multi-block features the co-preservation of a heteromorph ammonite, Spiroceras bifurcati, alongside a Jurassic nautilus, Cenoceras inornatum. It was discovered by our own team members, Alister and Alison, on 30 April 2025 at the world-renowned Jurassic Coast near Burton Bradstock, Dorset, UK.
This remarkable fossil combination comes from the Inferior Oolite Formation, a Middle Jurassic unit famous for beautifully preserved marine life.
Species Overview:
Spiroceras bifurcati: A rare heteromorph ammonite with a distinct open-coiling or spiral morphology, unlike the typical planispiral ammonites. Its shell features bifurcating ribs and irregular coiling, a defining characteristic of heteromorph taxa.
Order: Ammonitida
Superfamily: Stephanoceratoidea
Family: Unknown/rarely classified due to unique form
Geological Stage: Bajocian (~170 million years ago)
Depositional Environment: Shallow carbonate marine shelf
Cenoceras inornatum: A smooth-shelled Jurassic nautiloid with a classic involute coiled form and a central siphuncle. It was likely a slow-moving predator or scavenger.
Order: Nautilida
Family: Nautilidae
Geological Stage: Bajocian (Middle Jurassic)
Depositional Environment: Shallow, warm marine waters of the oolitic platform
This fossil has been expertly cleaned, prepped, and treated by Alison, and its superb preservation highlights the distinct features of both species. The photo shows the exact specimen you will receive, and includes a 1cm scale cube for accurate sizing—please refer to the image for full details.

Cenoceras Nautilus Fossil – Polished & Sectioned – Jurassic Inferior Oolite, Burton Bradstock Dorset UK – Authentic British Fossil with Certificate
This listing features a beautifully sectioned and polished Cenoceras Nautilus fossil, discovered on the world-renowned Jurassic Coast at Burton Bradstock, Dorset, UK. Dating to the Jurassic Period and preserved in the Inferior Oolite Formation, this specimen is a stunning example of ancient marine life that thrived over 170 million years ago.
Cenoceras is a genus of extinct nautiloids—an ancient group of cephalopods that includes modern nautiluses and are closely related to squid and octopuses. These marine creatures had coiled, chambered shells that allowed them to control buoyancy as they moved through the oceans. Unlike ammonites, Cenoceras featured smooth, rounded shells with less complex suture lines, giving them a more elegant appearance.
This specimen has been carefully sliced and polished, revealing the internal chamber structures of the shell. These chambers, once filled with gas or fluid, helped the animal maintain neutral buoyancy. The intricate patterns and natural mineralisation within the fossil create a striking visual appeal, making it a superb collector's item or unique decorative piece.
Your specimen was discovered by our own team members Alister and Alison on 17 January 2025 and has been meticulously cleaned, prepped, and treated by Alison for quality and preservation.
