Description
LIPAROCERAS CHELTIENSE Ammonite Fossil
This genuine fossil specimen is identified as Liparoceras chelti ense, an ammonite from the Lower Pliensbachian of the Jurassic. It comes from Blockley, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom, and is presented as a collectible piece for fossil enthusiasts, geology students, museum-style displays and natural history collections.
Fossil Identification and Geological Context
Liparoceras is an ammonite genus associated with Jurassic marine environments. Ammonites were extinct, shelled marine cephalopods that lived in the oceans during the Mesozoic Era. Their coiled shells are highly valued by collectors because they preserve the distinctive external form of these ancient marine animals and provide an accessible connection to Jurassic palaeontology.
The Lower Pliensbachian is an interval within the Early Jurassic. This geological stage forms part of the Jurassic Period, a major division of the Mesozoic Era known for widespread marine sediments and abundant fossil life. The supplied identification places this specimen within that important Jurassic ammonite-bearing context without assigning any unsupported formation or additional geological subdivision.
Locality
The specimen is from Blockley, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. Blockley is a recognised locality of interest to collectors of British fossils, making this piece particularly suitable for displays focused on UK palaeontology, Jurassic geology or ammonite diversity.
