Description
Pleuroceras spinatum Ammonite Fossil
This listing presents a Pleuroceras spinatum ammonite fossil, identified as belonging to the Lower Lias Formation of the Jurassic. Ammonites are extinct marine cephalopods recognised for their coiled shells and importance in the study of Earth’s geological history. Their fossils are valued by collectors for their distinctive form, scientific interest and connection to ancient marine environments.
Identification and Geological Context
The supplied identification is Pleuroceras spinatum Ammonite. The specimen is associated with the Lower Lias Formation and the Jurassic geological period. The Lower Lias represents an important interval within Jurassic geology, when marine environments covered extensive areas and supported diverse communities of shelled invertebrates. Ammonite fossils from Jurassic rocks are especially significant because their changing forms can help illustrate biological change through deep time and support geological correlation.
Pleuroceras is a coiled ammonite form, making this fossil suitable for collections focused on ammonites, Jurassic palaeontology, fossil invertebrates or geological history. The species name supplied for this specimen is spinatum. This identification is presented as part of the product information and should be retained with the specimen for future reference.
Origin Wording
The supplied product information includes the wording: Unterstürmig, Germany. This German association adds geographical interest to the specimen and makes it a distinctive addition to a collection of European Jurassic fossils. It may be displayed alongside other ammonites, stratigraphic specimens or educational geological materials.
Collector and Display Appeal
A Pleuroceras spinatum ammonite can appeal to fossil collectors, students, educators and anyone interested in Jurassic life. Its value as a display piece comes from the combination of a named ammonite identification, Lower Lias Formation association and Jurassic age designation. It can be used as a conversation piece in a home collection, study, classroom or geology-themed display.
The specimen is also appropriate for collectors building focused displays around ammonites, Lower Jurassic fossils, European geology or extinct marine organisms. Ammonites are among the most recognisable fossil groups, and their spiral shell form provides an accessible introduction to palaeontology, stratigraphy and the history of marine life.
