Description
LOBOSPHINCTES Fossil Ammonite
This fossil specimen is identified as Lobosphinctes, an ammonite from the Middle Oxfordian of the Jurassic. Its stated locality is CHATENTE, France, giving the piece a clear connection to Jurassic fossil collecting and the geological record of France. The fossil is presented as a specimen for collectors, educators, and anyone interested in ammonites, Jurassic palaeontology, and natural history.
Geological Context
The Oxfordian is a stage within the Jurassic Period, and the Middle Oxfordian represents a specific interval within that stage. Jurassic ammonites are especially valued in palaeontological study because their fossils can help document changes through geological time and are widely used in understanding marine environments and biostratigraphy. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squid, cuttlefish, and nautiluses. Their coiled shells are among the most recognisable fossils associated with the Jurassic seas.
The identification Lobosphinctes places this specimen within a named ammonite group. The supplied data identifies the fossil as Middle Oxfordian and Jurassic, with CHATENTE, France recorded as the locality. These details make the piece suitable for displaying alongside other Jurassic fossils or using as a tangible reference for studies of ammonite diversity and geological succession.
