This listing presents a Parkinsonia parkinsoni fossil ammonite associated with the Inferior Oolite and the Jurassic Coast of Dorset, UK. Parkinsonia parkinsoni is a named ammonite fossil, making this an appealing specimen for collectors interested in Jurassic palaeontology, British geology and marine fossil heritage.
Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with coiled, chambered shells. Their fossils are valued for their importance in understanding ancient marine environments and for the distinctive forms created by their spiral shells. Parkinsonia is a recognised ammonite genus from the Jurassic, and the species name Parkinsonia parkinsoni provides a specific identification for this fossil specimen.
