Description
LIPAROCERAS CHELTIENSE AMMONITE FOSSIL
This fossil is identified as Liparoceras cheltiense, a Jurassic ammonite from the Lower Pliensbachian. Ammonites are extinct marine cephalopods known for their coiled shell forms and chambered construction. Their fossils are highly valued by collectors because ammonites provide an important record of marine life during the Mesozoic Era and are frequently used in geological study and biostratigraphic research.
Geological Context
The Lower Pliensbachian belongs to the Jurassic Period and represents an important interval in the geological history of ammonites. Liparoceras is an ammonite genus associated with this part of the Jurassic fossil record. The species identification, Liparoceras cheltiense, gives this specimen particular interest for collectors who focus on Jurassic ammonites, historical geology, paleontology, or stratigraphically identified fossils.
The supplied location is Blockley, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. This locality information adds useful geological context for display, cataloguing and further research. The specimen is suitable for an ammonite collection, educational display, geology cabinet, museum-style presentation or as a distinctive natural history gift.

This makes the piece suitable for buyers seeking a specific ammonite fossil rather than a stock image or representative example.
Collector and Display Appeal
This Liparoceras cheltiense fossil offers several areas of collecting interest in one specimen: a named ammonite identification, Lower Pliensbachian Jurassic classification, a stated Gloucestershire locality and association with the Alice Purnell Collection. It is well suited to collectors building a Jurassic fossil assemblage, displaying ammonites by geological age, or studying the changing diversity of fossil cephalopods through geological time.
Its combination of taxonomic identification and locality information also makes it a useful addition to a labelled fossil cabinet. The included certificate wording and actual-specimen photography support straightforward presentation for private collections, educational settings and natural history displays.
