Description
PARKINSONIA PARKINSONI FOSSIL AMMONITE
This Parkinsonia parkinsoni fossil ammonite is associated with the Inferior Oolite and Bajocian stage of the Jurassic. The specimen is from Horn Park, United Kingdom, and forms an attractive addition to a fossil collection, geology display, natural history cabinet or educational study set.
Geological Identification
Parkinsonia parkinsoni is a named Jurassic ammonite fossil. Ammonites were extinct marine molluscs related to modern cephalopods such as squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses. Their coiled shells developed through successive chambers, and their fossils are widely valued for studying Jurassic marine environments, evolutionary change and biostratigraphy.
The Inferior Oolite is a Jurassic sedimentary succession associated with the Bajocian stage. Bajocian rocks are part of the Middle Jurassic, a period in which ammonites were abundant and widely distributed in marine environments. Ammonite fossils from this interval are particularly popular with collectors because they connect a recognisable fossil form with a clearly defined geological stage.
Specimen and Collection Details
This fossil is identified as Parkinsonia parkinsoni and is supplied from Horn Park, United Kingdom. It comes from the Alice Purnell Collection, making it suitable for collectors who appreciate specimens with an identifiable collection association. The fossil can be displayed alongside other ammonites, Jurassic fossils or specimens from the Inferior Oolite for comparative study.
The coiled ammonite form is one of the most recognisable fossil subjects in palaeontology. It makes this specimen suitable for fossil enthusiasts, geology students, museum-style displays, classroom teaching and anyone interested in the marine life of the Jurassic. It may also serve as a thoughtful gift for collectors of ammonites and British fossils.
