Description
Fossil Identification
This listing features a Parkinsonia fossil ammonite from the Jurassic Coast at Burton Bradstock, Dorset, UK. Parkinsonia is a fossil ammonite name associated with the diverse marine cephalopods that lived during the Jurassic Period. Ammonites are extinct relatives of modern nautiluses, squids and cuttlefish, and their coiled shells are among the most recognisable fossils in geological collections.
The specimen is identified as a Parkinsonia fossil ammonite. Its form represents the distinctive planispirally coiled shell architecture associated with ammonites, making it an engaging addition to a fossil display, educational collection or geology-themed interior. The supplied locality places this specimen within the internationally recognised Jurassic Coast landscape of Dorset, an important area for Jurassic palaeontology and coastal fossil discoveries.
