• Geological Age: Jurassic period, Kellaways Bed formation, 165 to 160 million years ago.
• Location: Gloucestershire, Yorkshire, UK.
• Family: Bivalve
• Species: Gryphaea bilobata

Gryphaea bilobata fossil specimens exhibit a wider shape than earlier gryphaea species, these samples are of Jurassic age, found in the Kellaways bed formation in Yorkshire, making them over 160 million years old. They are suitable for educational use and for collectors, as they show evolutionary changes, as well as excellent morphological details such as growth lines on the surface of their bronze coloured shells. Measuring approximately 7 cm in size, these samples will come supplied in a card tray with a label.
