This beautifully preserved ammonite displays the distinctive ribbed and coiled shell structure characteristic of the Gregoryceras genus, making it a remarkable addition to any fossil collection.

Geology & Fossil Type:

This ammonite originates from the Middle Oxfordian, a stage within the Upper Jurassic, approximately 160 million years ago. The Oxfordian period was characterized by warm, shallow seas, which provided ideal conditions for ammonites to thrive. Fossils from Charente, France, are well-known for their excellent preservation and scientific significance, making them highly sought after by collectors and researchers alike.

Gregoryceras transversarium belongs to the subclass Ammonoidea, a group of extinct marine mollusks closely related to modern squids and octopuses. These creatures were efficient swimmers, using their chambered shells for buoyancy control, allowing them to navigate ancient oceans with ease. The fine ribbing and suture patterns on this ammonite provide valuable insight into the evolutionary adaptations of Jurassic cephalopods.

Description

Gregoryceras transversarium Fossil Ammonite

Identification and Geological Context

This listing features a Gregoryceras transversarium fossil ammonite identified from the Middle Oxfordian of the Jurassic. The specimen is associated with Chatente, France, and offers an appealing opportunity to own a named Jurassic ammonite fossil with a defined geological context. Gregoryceras transversarium is a scientific identification that will be of interest to fossil collectors, Jurassic enthusiasts, geology students and anyone building a display focused on ammonites or Mesozoic marine life.

Ammonite fossils are the preserved remains of extinct marine cephalopods. Their coiled shells and varied forms make them among the most recognisable fossils in geological collections. During the Jurassic Period, ammonites lived in ancient seas and their remains became incorporated into marine sediments after burial. Fossil ammonites are also important to palaeontology because scientifically identified forms can help collectors connect individual specimens with specific intervals of geological time.

Middle Oxfordian Jurassic Specimen

The Middle Oxfordian is a stage within the Jurassic geological record. A specimen identified as Gregoryceras transversarium from this interval brings together a named ammonite, a recognised Jurassic age designation and a French locality association. This combination makes the fossil suitable for educational displays, geological collections and decorative presentation where a genuine named fossil is preferred over an unidentified example.

The listing is focused on the supplied identification and geological information. The natural fossil character of an ammonite makes each specimen an individual object with its own visual presence. Please study the listing photographs carefully for the appearance and presentation of the specimen offered.
