Description
Dumortieria levesquei Fossil Ammonite
This listing presents a fossil ammonite identified as Dumortieria levesquei. It is associated with the Inferior Oolite of the Jurassic Coast, with the listed locality of Burton Bradstock, Dorset, UK. The combination of a named ammonite identification, a recognised Jurassic geological unit and a Dorset coastal locality makes this an appealing addition to a fossil collection, geological display or natural history study group.
Identification and Geological Context
Dumortieria levesquei is an ammonite fossil. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods that lived in the oceans and are widely valued by collectors for their distinctive coiled shells and importance in the study of geological time. Their fossils can provide an engaging connection between palaeontology, stratigraphy and the ancient marine environments represented by Jurassic rocks.
The Inferior Oolite is a Jurassic geological unit associated with England. The Jurassic Coast is internationally recognised for its exposed sequence of rocks and fossils, making specimens from Dorset especially interesting to collectors who appreciate British geology and fossils connected with well-known coastal localities. Burton Bradstock is a named locality in Dorset, UK, and is supplied here as the locality associated with this specimen.
Collector Interest
A named Dumortieria levesquei ammonite offers more than a decorative fossil appearance. It provides a tangible example of an extinct marine animal and can be used to support discussions about ammonites, Jurassic palaeontology, fossil preservation and the geological history of the Dorset coast. The specimen is suitable for fossil collectors, students, educators, museum-style displays and anyone interested in the natural history of the Jurassic Coast.
Its identification as Dumortieria levesquei gives the piece specific taxonomic interest, while the Inferior Oolite association adds geological context. The locality information also helps place the fossil within the broader story of Dorset’s fossil-bearing Jurassic rocks. It can be displayed alongside other ammonites, British fossils or geological specimens to create a focused collection centred on Jurassic palaeontology.
