Description
Fossil Identification
This listing features a Plagiostoma gigantea fossil bivalve, identified as Lower Lias, Jurassic. The specimen is recorded as Blockley, UK, and comes from the Alice Purnell Collection. It is a distinctive addition for collectors interested in fossil bivalves, Jurassic palaeontology and historically documented geological specimens.
Geological Context
The Lower Lias is a geological term associated with Lower Jurassic strata. Jurassic rocks are widely recognised for preserving a varied fossil record, including marine invertebrates such as bivalves. Within this context, a Plagiostoma fossil provides an opportunity to connect a named bivalve identification with the wider study of Jurassic life and sedimentary geology.
Bivalve Fossil Interest
Bivalves are molluscs with a shell formed from two opposing valves. Their fossilised shells are important to collectors because they can preserve recognisable form and provide a direct connection to ancient marine environments. Plagiostoma is a named fossil bivalve, making this specimen suitable for display, educational collections and anyone developing an interest in Jurassic fossil taxonomy.
