Description
Ctenostreon proboscideum Bivalve Fossil
Identification and Geological Age
This listing features a Ctenostreon proboscideum bivalve fossil from the Middle Jurassic. The specimen is identified as Ctenostreon proboscideum, a scientifically named fossil bivalve, and is associated with the Bajocian stage of the Middle Jurassic. More specifically, it comes from the Sauzei Zone, providing a useful biostratigraphic reference for collectors interested in Jurassic palaeontology and fossil molluscs.
The fossil is recorded from the Inferior Oolite Group, an important Jurassic geological unit in southern England. The combination of the taxonomic identification, geological group, Jurassic stage and Sauzei Zone makes this specimen particularly suitable for collectors who value clear geological information alongside the fossil itself.
Locality Details
The recorded locality is Sandford Lane Quarry, Sherborne, Dorset, UK. Dorset is well known for its Jurassic geology, and this locality information adds useful context for display, study and educational collections. The documented location connects the specimen to the regional Jurassic rocks of Dorset and the Inferior Oolite Group.
Fossil Collector Interest
Ctenostreon proboscideum is presented here as a named bivalve fossil from a defined Middle Jurassic horizon. Its identification and geological placement make it a valuable addition to collections focused on bivalves, Jurassic fossils, British geology, the Inferior Oolite Group or zonal fossil records. It can also be used as an educational example when discussing how fossil specimens are linked to geological stages, formations and biozones.
The specimen is suitable for fossil displays, geological teaching collections and enthusiasts building a locality-specific collection of Jurassic material from the United Kingdom. The supplied information identifies both the fossil and its geological setting without relying on unsupported measurements or additional classification details.
Preparation and Collection
Your specimen was discovered by our own team members, Alister and Alison and has been cleaned, prepped and treated by Alison.
This preparation history records the work carried out before the specimen was offered to collectors. The specimen can therefore be considered alongside its locality, identification and geological age when cataloguing or arranging a fossil collection.
Certificate of Authenticity
This Fossil is a genuine specimen and Includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card.
The included certificate wording provides documentation for the fossil and supports its place in a personal collection, classroom display or geological study group. Please retain the certificate with the specimen for future reference and cataloguing.
