Description
Fossil Identification
This listing features a Perisphinctes (Dichotomosphinctes) elizabethae fossil ammonite, identified as Middle Oxfordian and Jurassic. The scientific name provides the key identification for this ammonite, while the Oxfordian designation places it within a recognised stage of the Jurassic geological period. The parenthetical name Dichotomosphinctes forms part of the supplied identification and adds useful taxonomic detail for fossil collectors, geology students and enthusiasts of Jurassic palaeontology.
Ammonite Collector Interest
Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with coiled shells divided internally into chambers. Their fossils are especially valued because ammonite forms and species are useful in the study of Jurassic rocks and geological time. A named Perisphinctes specimen can provide an attractive and educational addition to a fossil collection, particularly for collectors interested in Jurassic ammonites, biostratigraphy and historical palaeontology.
This specimen is associated with the Middle Oxfordian, a Jurassic interval of importance in ammonite research. The supplied identification makes it suitable for display alongside other Jurassic fossils or as a reference specimen for exploring the variety of ammonite names and classifications used in palaeontology. The product name records the fossil as Perisphinctes (Dichotomosphinctes) elizabethae, preserving the detailed identification supplied for this piece.
