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.
