Description
Pachylytoceras Fossil Ammonite
This listing features a Pachylytoceras fossil ammonite associated with the Inferior Oolite of the Jurassic Coast, from Burton Bradstock, Dorset, UK. It is a distinctive piece for fossil collectors, geology enthusiasts and anyone interested in the ancient marine life preserved within the Jurassic rocks of southern England.
Fossil Identification
Pachylytoceras is an ammonite identification. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods that lived in the oceans and developed coiled shells. Their fossilised shells are widely collected for their scientific, historical and decorative interest. This specimen is identified as Pachylytoceras and is connected with the Inferior Oolite geological unit of the Jurassic Coast.
The Inferior Oolite is part of the Jurassic geology exposed in England and is well known for its fossil-bearing rocks. The Jurassic Coast provides an important setting for studying the geological history of the region, with rocks and fossils representing ancient marine environments. A Pachylytoceras ammonite from this setting offers a tangible connection to Jurassic palaeontology and the marine ecosystems of the distant past.
Locality and Geological Interest
The specimen is associated with Burton Bradstock, Dorset, UK. Burton Bradstock lies along the Jurassic Coast, an area recognised for its significant geological exposures and fossil heritage. The combination of the Pachylytoceras identification and Inferior Oolite association makes this an appealing addition to collections focused on British fossils, Jurassic geology or ammonites.
This fossil can be displayed as a conversation piece, incorporated into a teaching collection or enjoyed as a natural example of the fossil record. It is suitable for collectors building a selection of Jurassic Coast material, as well as for those seeking an ammonite with a named identification and a documented collecting background.
