Description
Pleuromya tellina Fossil Bivalve
This listing presents a Pleuromya tellina fossil bivalve identified from the Middle Inferior Oolite, Jurassic. It is an appealing addition to a fossil collection, geological display or natural history cabinet, offering a direct connection to Jurassic palaeontology and the sedimentary history of Britain.
Identification and Geological Context
Pleuromya tellina is identified here as a fossil bivalve. Bivalves are molluscs with two shells, and their fossil remains are commonly studied for the information they provide about ancient marine environments, sedimentary conditions and the history of life. The supplied geological identification places this specimen within the Middle Inferior Oolite, a Jurassic stratigraphic unit associated with the richly fossiliferous sedimentary rocks of Britain.
The Jurassic Period is well known for its diverse marine invertebrate fossils. Within Jurassic strata, bivalves can be important indicators of changing seafloor conditions, burial environments and the development of sedimentary deposits through time. The Middle Inferior Oolite designation adds useful geological context for collectors interested in stratigraphy as well as fossil form.
Specimen and Display Use
This Pleuromya tellina fossil is suited to collectors building a themed bivalve, Jurassic or British geology collection. It can also be used as an educational display piece when discussing fossilisation, molluscan shells, stratigraphic units and the study of ancient environments. Its identification makes it particularly relevant to enthusiasts who enjoy combining palaeontology with regional geological history.
The associated location detail is Glouchestershire, UK. This gives the listing a British geological connection and may be of interest to collectors who focus on fossils linked with the Jurassic rocks of the United Kingdom. The specimen is supplied as the actual fossil shown in the listing photographs, allowing the purchaser to assess its visible presentation before buying.
Sizing and Photographs
Full sizing is shown in the photographs. Please review the photographs carefully for the specimen’s presentation and scale, as they show the item offered in this listing rather than a stock image.

Authenticity and Certificate
This Fossil is a genuine specimen and Includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card.
The included certificate wording provides supporting documentation for the specimen and is supplied with the fossil as described. This makes the piece suitable for personal collecting, gifting, educational use or display alongside other Jurassic fossil material.
Collector Interest
Fossil bivalves are popular with collectors because they combine recognisable biological form with important geological information. A Pleuromya tellina identification, together with the Middle Inferior Oolite and Jurassic context, gives this specimen a clear place within a stratigraphic fossil collection. It may be displayed with other Jurassic invertebrates, British geological specimens or educational materials covering the history of marine life and sedimentary rocks.
