Description

PLEUROTREMARIA sp Fossil Gastropod

Identification and Geological Context

This specimen is identified as PLEUROTREMARIA sp, a fossil gastropod from the Jurassic Marston Limestone. Gastropods are molluscs recognised in the fossil record for their coiled shell forms, and they are among the most familiar and diverse fossil invertebrates. The identification provided for this specimen is recorded at genus level, with “sp” indicating that the specimen is assigned to Pleurotremaria without a more specific species designation.

The Jurassic was a major period in Earth history, and Jurassic fossil material is widely studied for the information it provides about ancient marine and sedimentary environments. Marston Limestone is the named geological unit associated with this specimen. Its limestone setting is especially relevant to fossil collectors because limestone can preserve the hard mineralised remains of marine organisms, including molluscan shells. This specimen offers an accessible example of Jurassic palaeontology and fossil gastropod identification.

Locality and Collection

The specimen is from South Marston, Wiltshire,UK, and is associated with Bed 4, Marston Limestone, Jurassic. These locality and bed details make the piece particularly appealing to collectors who value geological context alongside the fossil itself. A named bed and locality can provide an important connection between a fossil and the rock unit in which it was found, supporting organised collection records, educational displays and geology-focused study.

This fossil is from the Alice Purnell Collection. Collection association adds useful historical context for display and cataloguing, making the specimen suitable for a personal fossil cabinet, classroom teaching aid, geological society presentation or educational palaeontology collection.

Collector and Display Appeal

A PLEUROTREMARIA gastropod fossil can be displayed as a representative Jurassic mollusc specimen, with emphasis on its genus-level identification, geological setting and Wiltshire locality. It may appeal to fossil collectors building themed groups of Jurassic material, collectors specialising in gastropods, and anyone interested in British geology. The combination of a named fossil genus, Bed 4 reference, Marston Limestone identification and South Marston locality gives the specimen a clear catalogue identity.

The piece can also be used as a conversation starter when discussing how fossils are recorded. Identification, stratigraphic information and locality data are all valuable parts of a specimen label, helping viewers connect the fossil with its geological setting rather than treating it as an unprovenanced object.
