Description

Fossil Identification

This listing features a rare 5.25-inch Scunthorpe ammonite fossil identified as EPARIETITES DENTATUS MAC. The specimen is additionally identified with Frodingham Ironstone and the Sinemurian stage of the Jurassic. It is associated with Conersby, Scunthorpe, Yorkshire, United Kingdom, making it an appealing piece for collectors interested in British Jurassic fossils and Yorkshire geological history.

Ammonite Details

Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with chambered shells, related to modern nautiluses and more distantly to squid and octopuses. Their fossilised shells are especially valued by collectors because ammonites are important index fossils: their changing forms and widespread distribution help geologists compare the relative ages of marine rocks. Eparietites is a Jurassic ammonite genus, while dentatus identifies the particular named form supplied for this specimen.

The Sinemurian is a stage within the Early Jurassic, a period when marine environments covered substantial areas of what is now Europe. Fossils from this interval are of interest for studying Jurassic marine life, ammonite evolution and the geological development of the United Kingdom. The supplied identification also references Frodingham Ironstone, an important geological association within the Scunthorpe area.

Collector Interest

This fossil is suited to an ammonite collection, Jurassic fossil display, geology cabinet or educational presentation. Its 5.25-inch size provides a substantial presence for display while retaining the specialist interest of a named ammonite identification. Collectors may appreciate the combination of a specific taxonomic name, Sinemurian Jurassic age, Frodingham Ironstone association and Yorkshire location.

The specimen is from the Alice Purnell Collection, adding collection provenance to its presentation. It can be displayed as a standalone geological object or included within a wider collection focused on ammonites, British fossils, Early Jurassic material or Yorkshire geology.
