Description
Fossil Identification
This listing features a Cadoceras (Pavloviceras) scarburgense fossil ammonite, identified as Callovian and Jurassic. The scientific name provides a precise identification for collectors interested in ammonites, Jurassic palaeontology and historically significant fossil specimens. Its taxonomic presentation makes it a suitable addition to a focused ammonite collection, a teaching display or a natural history cabinet.
The specimen is associated with Oxfordshire, United Kingdom, offering regional interest for collectors of British fossils and geological material. Oxfordshire specimens are especially appealing to enthusiasts who enjoy documenting the fossil heritage of the United Kingdom alongside the scientific identification of each piece.
Jurassic Geological Context
The Callovian is a recognised stage within the Jurassic Period. Jurassic rocks and fossils are widely valued for recording important developments in marine life, and ammonites are among the most useful fossil groups for studying Jurassic geological time. Their scientific importance comes from their distribution, evolutionary change and use in comparing rocks from different regions.
Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related, in a broad biological sense, to modern cephalopods such as squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses. Fossil ammonites are prized by collectors because they combine palaeontological interest with distinctive taxonomic names and a direct connection to ancient marine environments. The Callovian identification places this specimen within a clearly defined interval of Jurassic history.

Collector and Display Appeal
Cadoceras (Pavloviceras) scarburgense is a strong choice for collectors seeking a scientifically named Jurassic ammonite rather than an unidentified fossil. It can complement collections focused on ammonites, Callovian fossils, Jurassic palaeontology, British geology or historically documented natural specimens. The specimen may also be of interest to students, educators and anyone building a display around geological time, fossil classification or the marine ecosystems of the Jurassic.
The fossil can be incorporated into a home collection, study area, classroom resource or museum-style display. Its formal identification gives it useful reference value when arranging specimens by geological period, taxonomic name or locality association. Full sizing is shown in the photographs.
