Description
Fossil Identification
This listing features a Holcophylloceras (Holcophylloceras) mediterraneum (Catullo, 1848) fossil ammonite, identified as Callovian in age and Jurassic in geological period. The specimen is associated with SAKATARA, Madagascar, and comes from the Alice Purnell Collection. Its formal scientific name makes it an appealing addition for collectors who appreciate accurately identified ammonites, Jurassic fossils and palaeontological specimens with documented collection details.
Geological Context
The Callovian is a recognised stage within the Jurassic Period. Ammonites lived in ancient marine environments and are among the most useful fossil groups for studying Jurassic seas and geological time. Their shells can preserve valuable information about past marine ecosystems, evolutionary change and the distribution of fossil cephalopods through successive geological stages.
Holcophylloceras belongs to the fossil ammonite group, a particularly popular area of collecting because ammonites combine scientific importance with distinctive fossilised shell forms. The supplied identification of Holcophylloceras mediterraneum provides a specific taxonomic focus for this specimen and makes it suitable for educational displays, fossil collections, geology cabinets and palaeontology-themed interiors.
Collection Details
This fossil is from the Alice Purnell Collection and is associated with SAKATARA, Madagascar. The named collection connection adds useful background for collectors who value specimens presented with collection information. It can be displayed as part of a Jurassic fossil arrangement, an ammonite study collection or a broader selection of Madagascar fossils.
The specimen is offered as an identified fossil ammonite rather than an unclassified decorative fossil. Collectors may wish to use the scientific identification when researching Callovian ammonites, Jurassic marine life and the wider history of ammonite evolution. The formal author citation, Catullo, 1848, is retained as supplied with the identification.
Display and Sizing
Full sizing is shown in the photographs. The images are intended to provide the clearest visual reference for the actual fossil offered in this listing, including its presentation and visible characteristics.
