The ribbing is often straight and closely spaced. \u003cbr\u003eDactylioceras lived during the Early Jurassic period, specifically during the Toarcian stage, which is approximately 183 to 174 million years ago. These ammonites lived in marine environments, where they floated in the water column and possibly fed on plankton or other small marine organisms. They were likely good swimmers and could adjust their buoyancy using their chambered shells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e*Comes with display case*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Size of fossil specimen (out of case)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: 3.75cm x 3.5cm x 1cm    \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Weight of fossil specimen\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17g                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eCase Size: \u003c\/strong\u003e11cm x 9cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1pc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe do our best to buy quality products- although not every rock is the same.
