Dolcikephalites Typicus Fossil Ammonite Callovian Jurassic Normandy France, Middle Callovian | Alice Purnell Collection

Original price was: £21.00.Current price is: £16.80.

This listing presents a scientifically valuable and beautifully preserved fossil ammonite of the species Dolcikephalites typicus from the Middle Callovian stage of the Jurassic period, dated to approximately 165–163 million years ago. The specimen was discovered in Normandy, France, and comes from the highly regarded Alice Purnell Collection, known for housing expertly curated and historically significant fossils.

Dolcikephalites typicus is a member of the family Perisphinctidae, a group of fast-evolving ammonites with intricate shell morphologies. This species is characterised by its evolute, moderately compressed shell, fine ribbing, and well-developed whorls. As an extinct marine cephalopod, this ammonite was likely a mobile predator in the Middle Jurassic seas, utilising its chambered shell to regulate buoyancy.

Geological Context: The Middle Callovian Stage falls within the Middle Jurassic epoch, a time of warm global climates and widespread shallow marine habitats across Europe. The Normandy region is renowned for its extensive Jurassic outcrops, which have yielded diverse and well-preserved marine fossils including ammonites, bivalves, and marine reptiles. These marine deposits were formed in an epicontinental sea that once covered much of what is now northern France.

Description

Fossil Ammonite Identification

This listing features a Dolcikephalites typicus fossil ammonite identified as Middle Callovian in age and associated with the Jurassic. The supplied specimen information places it in Normandy, France, and notes that it comes from the Alice Purnell Collection. Its named identification and geological age make it a distinctive addition for fossil collectors, Jurassic enthusiasts, ammonite specialists and natural history displays.

Geological Context

The Callovian is a stage of the Middle Jurassic, a period known for extensive marine environments and abundant cephalopod fossils. Ammonites were extinct marine relatives of modern cephalopods such as nautiluses, squid and cuttlefish. Their coiled shells are among the most recognisable fossils in geology and are widely used by collectors and researchers when studying Jurassic marine rocks and faunal succession.

Dolcikephalites typicus represents a named ammonite fossil from this Jurassic context. The Middle Callovian designation provides a specific position within Jurassic geological time, giving the specimen educational value as well as display appeal. It can be used to support learning about ammonite diversity, Jurassic palaeontology, stratigraphy and the marine ecosystems in which ammonites lived.

Collection and Display

As part of the Alice Purnell Collection, this fossil carries an identifiable collection history within the supplied product information. It is suitable for a private fossil collection, geology cabinet, classroom resource, museum-style display or thoughtful gift for anyone interested in ammonites and Jurassic fossils. The specimen can be displayed alongside other fossil ammonites, geological specimens or educational material relating to the Callovian stage.
