Description
Catasigaloceras planicerclus Fossil Ammonite
This is a Catasigaloceras planicerclus fossil ammonite identified as Lower Callovian, Jurassic. The specimen is associated with Latton, Wiltshire, United Kingdom, and comes from the Alice Purnell Collection. Its combination of named identification, Jurassic age designation and collection history makes it an appealing addition to a fossil collection, geological display or ammonite-focused cabinet.
Identification and Geological Context
Catasigaloceras planicerclus is an ammonite fossil from the Jurassic. The Lower Callovian is a recognised interval within the Middle Jurassic, placing this specimen within an important period of marine fossil history. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses. They lived in ancient seas and developed chambered shells, which are among the most recognisable forms in palaeontology.
Ammonites are especially valued by collectors because their fossils connect distinctive shell forms with geological time. Their widespread distribution and rapid evolutionary changes made ammonites useful to palaeontologists for comparing Jurassic rocks and establishing relative geological age. A named specimen such as Catasigaloceras planicerclus offers both visual interest and a direct link to the study of Jurassic marine life.
Collection and Display
From the Alice Purnell Collection, this fossil carries an additional collecting-history interest for enthusiasts who appreciate specimens with an identifiable collection association. It can be displayed alongside other Jurassic fossils, ammonites, invertebrate fossils or geological specimens, or used as an educational piece when discussing the Callovian stage and the evolution of marine cephalopods.
The locality information supplied for this specimen is Latton, Wiltshire, United Kingdom. This location detail adds useful geological context to the display and makes the piece suitable for collectors interested in British fossils and regional palaeontology.
