Description
SPECIMEN IDENTIFICATION
This listing is for an Aspidoceras Rogozniziense fossil ammonite, identified as Kimmeridgian and Jurassic. The specimen locality is Tulear, Madagascar. Aspidoceras is a scientifically significant ammonite name associated with Jurassic fossil study, making this piece a compelling addition to collections focused on ammonites, Jurassic palaeontology and Madagascar fossils.
GEOLOGICAL CONTEXT
The Kimmeridgian is a recognised stage of the Late Jurassic Period. Jurassic rocks and fossils are important to palaeontologists because they preserve evidence of ancient marine ecosystems and the animals that lived in them. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squids, cuttlefish and nautiluses. Their typically coiled shells contained internal chambers and provided a durable record in the fossil record.
Ammonite fossils are especially valued in geology because their evolutionary changes through time can help researchers compare and date marine rock sequences. The Kimmeridgian interval is widely represented in Jurassic geological research, and an Aspidoceras specimen from Madagascar offers an attractive connection to this important chapter in Earth history.
LOCATION
The specimen is from Tulear, Madagascar. Madagascar is well known among fossil enthusiasts for its diverse geological heritage and for specimens collected from localities that have contributed to the study of ancient marine and terrestrial life. The Tulear locality gives this fossil a clear geographic identity for display, cataloguing and educational use.
COLLECTOR AND DISPLAY APPEAL
This fossil ammonite is suitable for collectors of Jurassic fossils, ammonites, palaeontology, geological specimens and Madagascar material. It can be displayed as a natural history accent in a home collection, study, office, classroom or museum-style arrangement. It also provides an accessible way to introduce topics such as fossilisation, extinct marine life, geological time and the use of fossils in stratigraphic research.
The Aspidoceras Rogozniziense identification and Kimmeridgian Jurassic designation make the specimen particularly relevant to collectors who organise displays by geological period, fossil group or locality. Its documented identity and place of origin can also be used when creating a collection label or educational display note.
