Description
Parkinsonia durotrigensia bradstockensis Fossil Ammonite
This fossil ammonite is identified as Parkinsonia durotrigensia bradstockensis and is associated with the Inferior Oolite of the Jurassic Coast. The specimen comes from Burton Bradstock, Dorset, UK, an area well known for its important Jurassic geology and fossil-bearing coastal exposures.
Identification and Geological Context
Ammonites are extinct marine cephalopods recognised by their coiled shells and are among the most popular fossils collected from Jurassic rocks. Their shells provide a record of ancient marine life and are valued by collectors for their distinctive spiral form, ribbing and geological significance. Parkinsonia is an ammonite genus associated with Jurassic strata, while the supplied identification records this specimen as Parkinsonia durotrigensia bradstockensis.
The Inferior Oolite is a Jurassic rock unit that forms part of the geology of southern England. Fossils from these strata are of particular interest because they document marine environments and the organisms that lived in them during the Jurassic Period. The Jurassic Coast locality adds further appeal for collectors interested in British palaeontology, regional geology and historically important fossil-bearing formations.
Locality and Collector Interest
Collected at Burton Bradstock, Dorset, UK, this specimen is suitable for fossil collectors, ammonite enthusiasts, geology students, educational displays and anyone interested in the Jurassic Coast. Its named identification makes it a useful addition to a collection focused on ammonites, Jurassic fossils or fossils from the Dorset coastline.
The specimen can be displayed as a natural-history object or incorporated into a study collection.
