Description
Peltoceras Athletica Fossil Ammonite
This genuine fossil listing presents a PELTOCERAS ATHLETICA ammonite identified as Upper Callovian, Jurassic. It is associated with MAINE ET LOIRE, France, and comes from the Alice Purnell Collection. The specimen is offered as a distinctive piece of Jurassic natural history for fossil collectors, geology enthusiasts, museum-style displays and educational collections.
Identification and Geological Context
Peltoceras is an ammonite, a group of extinct marine cephalopods that lived in the oceans during the Mesozoic Era. Ammonites are especially valued by collectors because their coiled shells provide an accessible record of ancient marine life and geological time. The supplied identification places this specimen within the Upper Callovian, a subdivision of the Jurassic Period.
The Jurassic is well known for its diverse marine ecosystems, in which ammonites formed an important part of the fossil record. Their remains are frequently studied for their usefulness in understanding changing marine environments and for their role in biostratigraphy, where fossil species help correlate rocks of similar geological age. This listing retains the supplied identification of PELTOCERAS ATHLETICA without adding unsupported taxonomic or locality details.
Collection and Display
This specimen forms part of the Alice Purnell Collection, adding collection history to its appeal. Its combination of a named ammonite identification, Upper Callovian Jurassic age designation and French association makes it suitable for a fossil cabinet, geological display, classroom resource or themed natural-history arrangement.
The fossil can be displayed alongside other ammonites, Jurassic fossils or geological specimens to create an informative collection focused on extinct marine life and the history of the Earth. It may also be of interest to collectors who specialise in Jurassic material, ammonites or historically documented collections.
