ABOUT THE FOSSIL:
This well-preserved Parkinsonia parkinsoni ammonite fossil originates from the Inferior Oolite of the Bajocian stage (~170-168 million years ago) of the Middle Jurassic and was discovered in Horn Park, United Kingdom. Parkinsonia is a genus of strongly ribbed evolute ammonites, known for their distinctive suture patterns and prominent whorls, making them highly sought-after specimens for collectors and researchers.
During the Middle Jurassic, ammonites like Parkinsonia parkinsoni thrived in warm, shallow marine environments, where they were active swimmers, preying on smaller marine organisms. The Inferior Oolite formation of Horn Park is renowned for its rich ammonite deposits, providing significant paleontological insights into Jurassic marine ecosystems.
