About Liparoceras cheltiense Fossil Ammonites:

Liparoceras cheltiense is a species of ammonite from the Lower Pliensbachian Stage of the Early Jurassic period, approximately 190-195 million years ago. These ammonites belonged to an extinct group of marine cephalopods related to modern-day squids, octopuses, and nautiluses.

This species is known for its thick, evolute shell with strong ribbing and pronounced keels, making it a distinctive and highly recognizable ammonite. Fossils of Liparoceras are found in marine sedimentary deposits, particularly in Blockley, Gloucestershire, UK, a site well-known for its exceptional fossil preservation.

Ammonites like Liparoceras cheltiense played a crucial role in prehistoric marine ecosystems and are important index fossils used by paleontologists to date rock layers. Their intricate shell patterns and evolutionary significance make them highly sought-after by collectors and researchers.

Perfect for display, educational purposes, or as a unique gift for fossil lovers and paleontology enthusiasts, this ammonite is a one-of-a-kind addition to any fossil collection.

This Liparoceras cheltiensis ammonite fossil is identified as a Lower Pliensbachian Jurassic specimen from Blockley, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. It is an appealing addition to a fossil collection, geological display, natural history cabinet or educational collection, offering a direct connection to Jurassic palaeontology and the study of ancient marine life.

SPECIMEN IDENTIFICATION

Product name: LIPAROCERAS CHELTIENSE Ammonite Fossil

The specimen is identified as Liparoceras cheltiensis and is associated with the Lower Pliensbachian stage of the Jurassic Period. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with coiled shells, and their fossils are widely valued by collectors because they combine recognisable form with an important role in the study of geological time and prehistoric marine environments.

The Lower Pliensbachian forms part of the Jurassic geological record. Fossils from this interval are of interest to collectors and students of palaeontology because they help illustrate the changing marine ecosystems and biological diversity represented in Jurassic rocks. The Liparoceras cheltiensis identification gives this specimen particular appeal for anyone collecting named ammonites or building a focused Jurassic fossil display.
